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?

Exactly! I've been posting and posting about this on different forums and EVERYone agrees. Yes there are some dumb and convoluted workarounds, obviously I can scroll for days and find what I need, but to have no update or response from Microsoft is sad.
MS - please bring this back. I'm switching back to the classic version as this is an absolute timesaver.
I am experiencing the same problem. Switched back to old version.
This advice is okay but it needs to be done from the New Outlook and most people posting this issue have switched back to the old Outlook.
WHY DOES THIS THREAD EXIST???? If Microsoft is not monitoring it, then what is the point?????????????
Please take a few minutes of programming and fix this issue. Please.
The jump to name by typing the first letters is a function your users have been using for decades.
I cannot use new outlook until this is fixed. Along with tens of thousands of users. It's that important to our workflow.
