I have switched over to the "New Outlook" and some functions did not switch over also. How do I turn on the auto capitalization of the 1st word of a sentence? How do I turn back on auto capitalizing the letter i? Thank you for any help!!!!

This does not capitalize the first word of new sentences only the first word if you hit the return/enter key. If you use a period or question mark, it should capitalize the next letter. This does not. Also, the letter i by itself should always automatically capitalize. Please look into this.
Hi,
To fix this please follow the below steps.
In your New Outlook,
Hope this helps
New Outllook is the worst version, revert to the old one much better.
This is still not resolved in 2024. I am actually gobsmacked that the company that made Word and essentially introduced basic grammatical error correction to the world could release the "New Outlook" in this state, and nearly a year after this thread was created has still not implemented the feature.
Microsoft what in the world are you doing? Further, why are you forcefully pushing "New Outlook" out to every single corporate/domain joined PC as if it's ready for prime time whilst lacking this basic functionality?
It's almost distressing to see how far Microsoft has fallen... But I guess auto capitalisation won't matter soon enough since Microsoft expects Copilot to be writing all of our emails or something. Keep banging the AI drum, I'm sure that'll resolve all of your other software shortcomings (except for Teams -- nothing will ever fix Microsoft teams🙄)
Disappointing to say the least.
can confirm - does absolutely nothing when enabling it.
