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 switched back to the old outlook, trying the new Outlook was probably the worst decision of 2024 in terms of productivity. Hopefully this release will be scrapped all together.

Makes you wonder if the developers actually use their own product. The features being talked about here are the basic of the basic. Every single user of this tool uses these. One would think the developers would also miss these critical features like the other 1 billion users of this product do. Also makes you wonder how those developer meetings go when discussing planning for the next version. What about Bill? Guarantee he uses the sort and jump function just like every other plain jane user... and someone really thought that taking that away from him was a good idea? What was his reaction the first time her tried to sort and jump in the new version? Was it a "removing that was awesome, guys!" or was it a "hey, why can't I jump to the F's after sorting... whisky tango foxtrot is going on here?!"
Developer 1: "Hey guys, I have a great idea... let's update the mailbox sorting to remove the features of typing first letter of a name when sorting by name, and let's also remove keeping the email you are on active after you sort. I know those are super helpful features for me when I use outlook, but I think we should just go ahead and remove them anyway and mess with the productivity of our global users!"
Developer 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc: "Yeaaaahhh, great idea buddy, let's do that! Boy oh boy, we are so improving this next version, the masses are gonna LOVE this new version. We're changing the world, yay Microsoft!"
Seriously, I just can't wrap my head around it.
