The New Outlook is TERRIBLE! !!

Anonymous

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've had a live mail account for some years... it was slow - but nothing like the new Outlook Mail. What is the purpose of the new "Other" category? Use more bandwidth? Waste more time? Completely useless, as far as I'm concerned. I select and instruct every message to permanently go to my "Focused" inbox, but they still keep putting important messages in "Other". It simply takes forever to read messages now, and I just don't have time for that. Sloppy. Inefficient. Frustrating. I'm giving it until the end of Summer, then I'm switching to Gmail. Thanks Microsoft.

Absolutely agree. This **** new Outlook is even hard on the eyes. Been a "Hotmail" user for a long time but I'm going to have to find a new email because this is **** ridiculous! So pissed!

It is next to impossible to use. Where did all my folders go? I have to start over?

I have been an Outlook user for many decades, and I find the new format completely unreadable! In fact, the whole Office 2016 suite of tools is flat, hard to see, and even harder to use!

I'm in IT Support, and spend my entire day reading emails. This new version makes my whole face hurt from squinting so hard! I don't mind when tools change, for the better, but this change is horrible! I certainly WON'T be putting this on my home computer. 2010 is so much more readable and user friendly!
