When your in an email, there are usually up and down arrows top right on the page, allowing me to scroll to the next/previous email...

They aren't there today, is this a glitch or have Microsoft once again updated the look of Outlook and removed a REALLY useful feature???

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For home

    Same problem with Hotmail....

    Ctrl > and Ctrl < work so at least that's something.

    But when you are busy with your mouse it still is inconvenient to have to go back with your hands...

    Yeah. Not only is it subjectively annoying to have things move from where you are habitually used to having them, but the new location of the "trash can" icon is inferior even by an objective standard. It takes more conscious effort to align the correct icon with the particular email you want to delete, when it is way far to the side like that. The old location right next to the subject was more intuitive.

    Same question here, and would also like to mention that there have been other, recent, detrimental changes to the web version in my opinion, such as the moving of the 'flag, pin, delete' buttons on hover-over of e-mails in the inbox all the way to the right side.

    These kind of changes would be fine if they were OPTIONAL, but as of the past month or two the product feels like it is rapidly getting worse and less intuitive to use. Why??

    It was fine, we liked it the way it was. Please at least make it so that the options menu allows for customization in order to keep the lay-out the same as before.

    Adding back flag, pin, and delete *are* optional. Hit the three dot menu next to that row, and select customize, and you can add them back.

    This change along with the move of the delete, etc. icons to the extreme right of each message line, is a terrible change that needs to be changed back to previous locations. One must conclude that the first change of moving the delete and other icons was Microsoft wanting us to shift our eyes to the advertisements. Now they have removed the up and down arrows so we will again not be distracted from the advertisement.

    How about listening to Outlook users and keeping features that were convenient, logical and part of what everyone liked about Outlook.

    You are losing people because of the changes you are making.
