Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Interested in when this might be updated. in office work is easier without building layers to outlook threads.
i think a lot of office workers can better from it and being that outlook is the main email use in most offices.
this would benefit everyone
This is a critical feature for me and the only reason I haven't yet migrated to the new Outlook. With shared mailboxes, this is the only feature available to our team to add notes to an email to keep everyone updated on the status or what actions are being taken before it can be responded to. Can this PLEASE be prioritised.
That doesn't work for me. I don't have "Actions" showing in the 3-dot menu.
I instead need to use a procedure similar to what AnnaC 1 described above.
In the ribbon, use Move, Actions, Edit Message.
Long ago, I customized my ribbon to create a "New Group" containing "Edit Message" with its blue icon, so that I can edit a message with a single click on my Edit icon in the ribbon.
I'm using Outlook (classic, not new) in Microsoft 365 (Family). As far as I know, there have been no major changes in years. If the Enterprise version has some differences, I wouldn't know.
New Outlook, on the other hand, is completely different software, basically a web app in a "wrapper" instead of a traditional desktop app. It's not that Microsoft took the classic Outlook and changed it, "deleting" some features. Instead, they created a completely new "Outlook" program. Maybe in another year or two it will be as functional as the classic Outlook, but it seems Microsoft would rather see everyone switch to what many feel is an inadequate substitute.

This is essential that this is brought back. This is a core function for my team and organisation's way of working
Extremely frustrating! MS please reinstall this feature.
