New Outlook - Completely Sucks

Entirely agree

Fundamentally, for me, the Product team hasn’t sufficiently understood the end users workflow - or why completing that workflow efficiently is priority 1 for many users.

How else could Microsoft put out a “new” productivity product that takes multiple times longer to complete the same tasks and expect it to be popular?

New Outlook is a running joke in my company. It comes up on Teams calls with external suppliers/customers and we compare which poor souls are forced to use it.

Only other guess is that they’re so caught up with making Outlook equivalent with the web app - they’ve totally lost sight of what end users care about.

Either way, it’s the first MS office product I’ve used that’s been this bad for this long.

Sack it off?

Start again?

Everyone hates it, try again.

I attempted to use the new Outlook. I greatly dislike it. I have ads mixed in with my email messages. I cannot download files to the destination of my choice. I cannot add my own image to the background. I have no option to refresh the page to load more messages. I am not signing up to beta test anything. If it is not ready to go, I am not using it.

One folder for files - you guys are horrible outlook for iOS has no functionality for me I waste 30/45 minutes each morning doing what used to take me 5 minutes - get real I am looking for options as this is awful

Ditto. What a turd of a piece of software.

Why fix something that is not broken? Old outlook worked fine with no glitches or problems. It seem as though MS "makes work" for the staff without any thought of what to accomplish! This NEW Outlook is trash.

Exactly.

What BS are you foisting on your users. Do you want people to choose other products?

Stop this BS **** lemming march to the sea need to change for the sake of change with absolutely no enhancement that makes a positive difference. What a turd.
