Dear MS, If you wish to replace an application (developed over 20+ years) then make it functionally equivalent.
Until then don't bother with trying to push the <removed> that is the new Outlook onto people to test.
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.
I tried to set up the "new" Outlook today and it will not connect to my IMAP, it will not even connect to my Outlook.com/live.com account. It's completely useless. Given the comments here, even if it might work, it seems not worth the hassle.
Have to agree, they seem to make these drastic changes to every program to justify selling a new version. At some point they have to stop breaking what isn't broke.
If Microsoft moves forward with this awful Outlook version, I will discontinue my Office subscription. It is that bad. On the business side, it totally breaks basic functionality expected from the Windows native client. People will howl when this is forced upon them.
A total garbage! Can't have my calendar/task view simultaneously with my email/inbox view. Back to the old one!
Yeah; just tried the New Outlook. What an absolute joke. It does not support dragging and dropping email attachments. Are you serious? Who, in their "right mind" thought it was a good idea to not implement this fundamental feature? WOW! What a clown show...
