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 have used Outlook for personal and business use for years but the last few updates have made is complex and annoying and now the Focused group, which I originally felt was a good feature, is being overloaded with SPAM. I am now spending a half hour a day marking spam in the focused group as junk but it keeps on coming back,

    I thought focused was ONLY from those that I have communicated with. This is making Outlook semi-useless. We can't put up with this much longer.

    This is now so bad that I have put a stop on my MS stock holdings.

    I agree. I am tolerating it until I decide I simply have to replace it with a gmail.  Barely any feedback registers or is fixed, it's incredibly slowwww, the Other inbox stuff keeps showing in main (primary/focussed), which should'nt , flags take up too much space, emails are spaced out, moving stuff into folders is slower, STILL after all these yrs no multi addy log in which means logging in/out (pain In the Backside bigtime< and  1 of the things gmail IS far superior at, with being far speedier too. It's only the aggro of telling everyone that is clinging me to hotmail (that was the best version did'nt even need changing to Outlook which is awful, the worst of which is this version. Ironic is'nt it..keep IMPROVING IT..makes it even worse . lol

    WTF Microsoft?  My Hotmail account will not sync on my IPad (I use the IPad mail app and had noproblems until you started screwing with something that worked great for a long time.  I hate this, I MEAN HATE this.  I have no problems dumping every email account I have with you over this.  The ABSOLUTE LACK OF RESPECT FOR US IS DESPICABLE!  I want someone to answer me about how to set it up so I have my hotmail account working again on my IPad.

    I'm so absolutely frustrated with whatever changes Microsoft has done. Seems like a bunch of dummies making the decisions. My ipad wont sync up anymore, I need to use 3 different devices just to get my emails out. Then whats up with all the draft saving??!! I go to my sent folder and emails are just disappearing without me deleting them.... its chaos I HATE IT!!! Get your **** together Microsoft, Ive been using Hotmail now for 20 years and this is the most horrible version ever!!! Things supposed to advance and help us out, not make us angry and frustrated with your service.  FIX THE IPAD SYNC at least!!!!
