Hi,
Recently saw that you added support for iCloud accounts but still nothing for IMAP emails. Any word on when this will be available? After this feature is added, I can stop using the OLD Outlook desktop app.
Thanks
Stephen
Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
As IMAP is integrated in Outlook (new) by now there is one problem left: If the IMAP configuration for login needs a different account than the e-mail adress, it is not possible to configure this. With SMTP there is an extra field for SMTP-account, but not for IMAP. So extended setup fails.
IMAP support in new Outlook sucks as all other methods offered in New Outlook. MS just wants to synchronize your mail to MS cloud. You do not want this. You do not want all your e-mails sent/received by you favorite IMAP provider, company/private account to be stored in Microsoft. You would need space for the same thing in MS cloud, eventually paying it twice. I have 15 GB of emails in Gmail account. And MS wants me to let them to sync my Gmail to MS cloud? Really? Piss off Microsoft. New Outlook is just an attempt to get money from people and from advertising. You will not get mine. New Outlook is not a mail client, it cannot work in client mode for a handful mail servers. It is just one-purpose MS cloud mail viewer.
I lost my hopes this ever changes.
why would Ms kill off win mail, a perfectly working product when the new has still so many gaps?
