Issues with new outlook not marking emails as read or deleting from server when I delete them

Yes, I have the same problem.

The New Outlook somehow deteriorates the user-experience than the earlier version. Another example is

* Earlier outlook allowed copy attachments between emails, using standard right-click -> copy and then paste in new email.

* New outlook does not have this.

I'm switching back to earlier Outlook as that was much simpler and faster. Newer Outlook is cheesy but lacks useful features and is slow.

Hi

Same issues as above using desktop application.

Something that was marked as Read once it gets moved to another folder becomes Unread. Really, really, frustrating.

I have several different emails attached to the New Outlook. I used to be able to move mail between them. I can no longer do that. It means i have to use email on my phone to move them around.

My phone and computer use to be able to remain in sync. With the new version it doesn't

I lost an email I'd been working on for a few hours last night. For some reason it had not created a draft and it was not in my deleted folder.

As I'm writing this New Outlook as frozen and I'm going to have to use Task Manager to kill the application. This is the second time it has done this. FYI I think it was because I pressed Download on an email that was in a separate screen and previewing the attachment.

I have never seen an upgrade to software that has been so bad. They've taken what was a great application to use to something that is not worth using.

Unfortunately, I can't go back to the old version so I'm going to have to change email applications. IF they allowed the option to get the old version online again, I'd be happy.

Such a shame.

Same here, new outlook not syncing properly.

HI Fabio - I came across this link having similar issues with "new" Outlook not marking messages as read.

It seems that Outlook now has a new option to change the "read message" settings which I am not aware existed before. Follow these steps:-

1. Go to the gear icon in the top right corner, select mail, select "Message handling".
2. Look at the options for "Mark as read" which can be tweaked.
3. I found that the default setting on my Outlook was to "Mark displayed items as read after 5 seconds" which I found annoying so have changed.
4. Make sure the setting matches your preference.

I hope this helps.

My issue is in the old Outlook (desktop app), I used to be able to set it so it wouldn't get marked as read until I physically opened the email.

Now the only options are as soon as it's selected, after 5 seconds, or when selection changes, or Not at all.

But if I select not at all, physically opening the email doesn't even mark it as read.....I have to click the read/unread button. This is not useful.......
