New Outlook - Auto Capitalization

AMEN!!! I work in higher education and when we were offered the option to merge slowly to the new Outlook, before the permanent transition, I was excited. When I realized that this was an issue, I almost felt stupid reaching out to our internal IT guy asking for help because I should be able to find this as a feature, being that it is the proper usage of grammar. My IT guy is great and was dumbfounded once he realized that it was a real issue and not me overlooking something. This is the most ridiculous thing ever and the fact that it is still not fixed is beyond me. You said it best with your comment!

Well... since self-capitalization of the "I" pronoun, as well as autocapitalizing the first letter after a ".", was a feature present in the old Outlook, and it's a default feature of other MS product whose focus is the act of writing, such as MS Word, removing it is not "improving features" or "aligning to customer feedback".

That would have been true if the pronoun "I" setting was only applicable when typing in English, as other languages might not require it (as a matter of facts, it was quite boring writing in Italian, when that feature was there).

But removing them and passing it as an improvement after years in which the product had worked in a certain way is an excuse at best. And a bad one!

Plus: capitalizing the first work after a "." is true for any language using latin characters...

Please bring it back as soon as you can.

THIS!!!!!! I didn't realize how much I used this function until the new outlook. Now I have to save it as an email file and THEN attach.

I understand this is basic grammar that would should already know/do alone. Yes, we can easily hold down the shift key or put the CapsLock on however, this so called "shortcut" or "feature" has been around for many years now, believe to make everyone's lives a little bit easier. For such a little feature, you think it would be transferred to the "new" outlook. There are pages of feedback asking for this particular "shortcut/feature" back. I know I am about a year late to the party but, seeing that this is still an issue almost a year later is concerning. Is this something outlook is working on? Can we see this being added on in the near future?

Yes, the lack of this feature is very annoying, amongst many others this new look does not provide.
