Hi,
I regularly send some emails in English and some in my native language - as most European business people do. In Outlook one language is always set as default spell checker language, but in the old Outlook I could always override this by setting spell checker individually for each message. It took some three clicks, but it was possible. In the new Outlook this option is gone (at least I could not find it) - only thing you can do now is to change default editor spell checking language! This is extremely unfortunate and a huge step back. Please return the option to switch spell checker language when composing the new message. Or even better make it more accessible than in the old Outlook.

That is a nice workaround, however we need MS to correct these issues in the new version before we are forced to upgrade.
Hello,
There is a button switch in the top right corner, and you can switch back to the previous Outlook version, which I actually did. Now spell check works as it should, and I can place the To do list under the Calendar in the bottom right corner. And grey separators between the Today, Yesterday and Weeks ago emails are back, and Read/Unread sign on-top of the Inbox folder works properly. Many small things that just work as they should.
Just exit full screen mode, that will allow you to access the pop-up window.
For some stupid reason the popup box apears behind the active box and connot be accessed
Is this still the situation !
no decent spell check in Outlook!
That is a shame for your whole deaprtment!
Seriously looking into Open Office options now.
