The responses from those who monitor Outlook is corporate cute. And expected.

But the new Outlook is so Very Terrible, that those of US who loved and have been a part of Hotmail since it's inception , might be lead to believe that the R&D dept. or hired developer Never used it in their lifetime? ??

This new Outlook is a lazy, pathetic designers attempt to.......do nothing!!

What did you make better??

NOTHING!

What did you screw up??

  • The easy one glance ability to either read " said email " or delete in up to  a 10 email selection at once.
  • The ability to easily place emails into folders.

Why explain it,..WE all know the new Outlook is a " Microsoft is done with your stupid account....." phase out.

Which in actuality is a shame from a business perspective.

Hotmail, may not be Facebook popular? 

But, there ARE many longterm users!!!!!!

Microsoft,  you are forcing Your Clientele to depart and sever ties with you.

I left the iPhone world long ago for Samsung / Android.

Why???

  • Freedom, and elimination of loved apps being manipulated.

Microsoft is creating the Same Problem.

IF, the business is really about money????

And Microsoft " thinks " it needs to change??

Why not do the smart thing.........

Ask your client base what WE like, and what WE think you do well. Then work from there.

But this new Outlook??? Sorry but, IT SUCKS!

    I lost faith in everything Microsoft touched years ago when every new version of Windows claimed to be faster than the previous yet requiring a faster computer to run it on. First I thought it was corporate BS just trying to sell us their newest product, but then I began to suspect incompetence, but now it's beyond that. Microsoft is run by multi-billionaire trolls who intentionally produce terrible products as a prank so they can laugh at us. They are rich enough to employ REAL programmers but they don't. They are laughing at us from their mansion houses and drinking Champaign.

    I suggest not using Hotmail/Outlook anymore and use a REAL email service such as Gmail etc. Google may monitor your mails so they can target advertising but at least the ads appear on the screen instantly not pausing the screen for thirty seconds while the ad appears.

    One day Microsoft will be replaced and we will be able to use computers in the way they were supposed to be used, and using products that actually do what they claim to do. But until then we have to grin and bear it while trying to look for alternative products.

    Microsoft don't look at us a customers, they see us a gullible fools and they laugh at us. They don't care about the end-user. They get $10000000 of ad revenue from Outlook they don't care if it doesn't work or if the advertisers are ripped off. So long as their are millions of users signed up they can charge more for the ad space even if most of those users don't use Outlook anymore.

    There's no going back. The Beta is over and is now being rolled out to users.

    I agree with the above message.   I turned on my computer this morning and Outlook was different.   I want the old one back.  I looked for the button on the right it was not there.  I hate the new outlook.

    What a mess and a poor way to start a day. Cannot find my old contacts and only 5 will pop up. I cannot see any improvement whatsoever.

    Exactly.

    "upgrade" is a typical geek parade of trashy gimmicks, causing a further lack of functionality and truck loads of "unexplained" problems. Not worth keeping your hotmail / outlook account. gmail is a joke and yahoo has serious security problems.

    Go to gmx.com and try their free email service

    I have 2 email folders that all saved emails in inexplicably disappear after a certain amount of time. (about a month or less) Only those 2 folders. Has been going on for over a year. Can't figure it out and Microsoft help has been no help! I renamed them and it still happens! Out of about 12 folders only those 2 have problems and they happen to be important business emails which has caused me numerous problems. Does it happen to force me to upgrade???
