Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Please note, I am asking the same question.
What replaces the "Edit Message" button in the New Outlook?

How long must we wait!

2025-04-17T18:54:40+00:00 Without an Edit [removed_js], where can I find it again? Often I put Notes in the inbound email to keep up with a project. Where do I place or "Edit" the email and add my notes?

New outlook is abysmal, but the "classic" outlook in 365 is also unusable. Before my company switched me to outlook 365 I could get through my 150 emails in about 10 minutes. It now takes 30 minutes. That's 20 minutes wasted per day and ONLY because I have stopped trying to fix things that MS breaks on a daily basis. Example: The drop-down list when you type a letter "v" expecting to bring up "******@gmail.com" brings up random addresses from god knows where, and then hides the full name, so you may send a purchase request to michelle at your church instead of michelle at your company.
Please:
- Stop adding features we don't want or need
- Stop taking away features we use all the time
Stop having children write code for adults. We do not care how pretty, laid out, interconnected with AI, etc. we just want to get through our email.
