hate the new outlook that is replacing win mail. any alternative that is similar to win mail that is simple and fast to load?

C'mon Microsoft why don't you listen to us users for a change and give us what we want instead of telling us what we need. Get rid of the mandatory changeover, give those who want to switch over the option to do so and let the rest of us who want to use Win Mail the freedom to do so. Gee, you wouldn't want to make all your users happy for a change, it's not like we haven't paid out the nose for your products over the past 40 years.

Me too, I really hate this app. It's pain in the ****!!!!

Last time I witnessed failure from Microsoft is when they released Windows Millennium and Vista. This App is clearly in this category!

• The default favorites is attached to which mailbox?
• We are unable to rename favorites mailbox to identify them.
• Opening mailbox from favorites doesn't work
• Unable to define the default mailbox to open when starting the app
• There is no home mailbox like on the phone App
• The app reload itself with no reason
• The app is slow to open
• Ads may display...

This is my last version of Windows (Windows 10). I don't understand why we are forced to update the App and can't keep the original one. Like forcing us to move to Windows 11, I don't even understand WHY!!!!

For all of these reason, I quit Microsoft Windows for personal usage.

How about not forcing us to move to an app that is "still under development" and just give us windows mail back until you have an app that works?

Totally agree with you . The Outlook is horrible. Instead of improving Outlook, its gone to the "dogs" . I am looking for an alternative and I think many users feel the same way. Why Microsoft can't this badly thing . Really useless. I will NOT renew 365 . Microsoft is becoming a joke now

I can agree entirely with you Gregg, we never asked for this new outlook and never wanted it to replace the windows mail which for a majority of users ticked all the right boxes.

The admission that this new outlook is 'under development' speaks volumes, it was not ready for release but Microsoft replaced a perfectly fine mail app with this complete utter trash.

The reply from GinikalD completely missed the point of your question :

Please try the following options and see if the issue gets resolved:

1. Reduce the Size of Your Mailbox. Large mailboxes can slow down Outlook. Try archiving old emails.

so it's your mail that is the problem??? I don't think so!

2. Ensure that you have a strong and stable network connection.

So it's your network connection that is the problem ????? again I do not think so!

3. You might have to disable some add-ins that you don't use regularly as some can slow down Outlook.

So now you have to disable add-ins as Outlook cannot process with them on????? come on be serious!!!

4. Repair Outlook Profile. A corrupted profile can cause slow loading, so consider repairing and the Outlook app on your desktop.

So now it's actually your installation of outlook that causes the problem????

When will these so-called experts except that we are not idiots, I've been working with computer programs since the seventies and always smile when the 'it must be your fault as our coding is perfect' card is played, it's not any of those issues, the issue is we didn't want this new outlook but Microsoft has determined that like it or not you will have it even if it is rubbish it is what we say you need to use and the ads give us much needed revenue ( did I type that?)

Releasing an app that is incapable of transferring contacts from a working windows mail is inexcusable, forcing users to be spammed with ads unless they are prepared to buy out is despicable.

Being unable to select your own backgrounds to allow individuals to customise their page is arrogance of the highest order.

It really doesn't matter which alternate mail app you use as any available are miles better than this 'new' outlook but blind to any feedback Microsoft will continue to ignore the very people who pay their wages, simply put restore Windows mail and stop forcing users who do not need outlook to have to put up with an inferior option because they will find a non-microsoft alternative.
