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!

    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.

    RB Miller, i should get a commission from GMX ..... Go to gmx.com and try their free email service, their platform is crisp and clean, easy to navigate, options galore including making extra folders and email forwarding.

    Their contacts listing tab is awesome.

    Is a German company, so designed with efficiency and logic

    cheers

    Yep agree Robert Stringer, i am slowly migrating everything to my gmx.com email, which is bloody brilliant, easy to navigate, great functionality, clear platform, and has all the forwarding and pop options. Also able to create folders, and it's free...!

    Way better than STUPID gmail which thinks it knows where to file your emails, and only has "conversations" not folders. 

    Way better than yahoo which is a pain in the **** to log in to and has **** security.

    And now better than hotmail / outlook with it's "upgrade" - upgrade.....?.....WHAT EVER.....

    Go gmx

    Have to agree that new Outlook is not the best.

    Visually it looks good but when it comes to everyday functionality it lacks compared to Hotmail.  

    It is slow. Even with regard to typing it lags.

    Have not worked with this much but the one time I tried to use Outlook with One Drive to send images and video it did not function well.  File size limitations etc., issues with those trying to view etc.

    Generally looks modern/updated but is not as user friendly.  

    Getting too complex for me.  Some may love this, some indifferent and many not happy.  I do feel Microsoft should run at least two versions of Outlook. One for advanced users and one for people who enjoy something basic but functional.

    I cannot either, it appears that they force it full page so if you want to minimize or make that page smaller to multitask, you cannot. Stupid programming. Becoming a familiar Microsoft way of doing business.
