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!

    AS a visually impaired person, taking away the ability for me to conditional format is problematic.

    Normally when a UI is improved it is supposed to enhance the interface not make it harder to use. The new outlook has no real clear definition between each panel either. Please bring back all the feature for conditional formatting like being able to change the colour of the font for flagged messages. Or increasing the size of the font for unread messages.

    Still no improvement 20 months later as of January 2025?

    Why no conditional formatting for "unread messages"? The difference between read and unread is way too subtle -- I want to make "unread messages" stand out much more. And no workaround is available?

    Cannot believe this doesn't exist. Changing back to the old outlook because of this. Cannot differentiate between unread and read.
