Hey there!

Conditional formatting (allowing you to change fonts for unread messages for example) seems to be missing on the new outlook?

Any know a way around that?

Thanks!

    I also tested last week, and there is now some limited conditional formatting existing in the online outlook. Some of my use cases could be solved by that (coloring of text), but other settings from traditional outlook are still missing (automatic labeling)

    The roadmap says a Conditional Formatting change has been rolled out, and nothing is pending. A switch this morning, 1) did not ask to import settings, and 2) trashed all of my conditional formatting, and 3) appears to have changed all my read emails back into unread.

    That open status only addresses conditional formatting for Messages. Nothing yet for calendars/meetings. :( Extremely disappointed in MS Development team for rolling out without this key functionality for users.
