    I know Microsoft is bad, but surely you can't seriously be considering moving to a Mac? Apple is Microsoft's evil twin.

    Microsoft literally don't care anymore what the users want.

    They've moved from human-centred-design to Microsoft-centre-design.

    Well guess what, my next laptop is going to be a Mac and I have hated Mac's all my life, but I am done. This is ****.

    Hi Cathy,

    Great name you have there. And how bad is this. Just upgraded or should I say downgraded today. Wish I bloody hadn't!

    And FFS Microsoft at least give us the bloody option. Not force it on us with no alternative. Using a feature for over a decade then removing it because some 20+ uni student with 4 majors and 2 langues but not 1 bit of real world experience had some epiphany drinking his chai latte in his Prius. Taking more choice away. Pathetic. If i wasn't so wrapped up in your infastructure Id be out of it in flash. So glad I didnt buy another Surface Pro for 3k

    How do you see a date in the field chooser. i understand that the field chooser does not exist, but a simple heading like Date is also missing. i want to see the date and the time - both of these on the top pane.

    Many a good times i receive an email from the same person, 15-20 times in a day and the same subject and it makes it easy to search the email with the date/time, both fields.

    THey do not give a sh...

    Someone posted how you can change the view bar. OK, that is ok. But for instance, you choose received by date, or from and still you cannot collapse it compiled under one line.

    I have never used subfolders. I was told by an expert, that it slows down Outlook, So I started using Categories'. In the new outlook, I cannot add categories in the view bar on top of my emails. SO not collapse possibilities as well. This I hop I find back email relating to certain topics.

    I have send my feedback to MS, when I changed back to the old version.
    I will never get an answer and also on this forum, they will not respond at all.

    We just have to wait until the switch back button does not exist anymore.

    It completely sucks
