Outlook sort by name, but can't jump to name

I just tried the NEW outlook.

I can sort by names A-Z, but then I have to scroll to find the person.

The old outlook, I could just type the first letter and it would jump to that name.

Is there a setting in the new outlook that allows you to jump to the letter when typed?

    Is there a way to unsubscribe from email updates on this (probably will never get fixed) missing feature?

    The email says "Unsubscribe: on the question, select the Subscribe option and then select Unsubscribe." but I don't get unsubscribe option :(

    I'm on an enterprise version and these options are not visible for me either.

    The productivity impact of transitioning to this new outlook has been extreme. Normally a few hours of using an updated product and I have sorted out the glitches and new processes, but so much functionality has been removed or changed I'm literally operating at a degraded level of productivity long term. It is a farce. Not being able to jump to name by typing in the letter is ridiculous. Don't get me started on the inability to expand the 'subject' field because the Received field is twice the size it needs to be and cant be reduced.
