2016-09-17T19:03:05+00:00 One thing that worries me is that it will automatically open junk mail that I would just block before and not open so as not to encourage more of them. Microsoft simply have to sort this out - it is outrageous that we switch on our computers one day and find this changed without our permission or agreement. There are so many flaws I can't begin to list them all

When i hover over it, or right-click I guess , it brings up something called "Boomerang"... What THE **** is THAT all about?????

This is ridiculous that it can change without warning!! Yesterday I was using my old hotmail interface and today everything is different. You say there is no way of reverting, but I don't believe you! That simply cannot be the case. Please provide this option for us, in conjunction with your developers. It can't be that difficult!!
