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.

    Can't copy paste a calendar entry.

    Can't drag and drop an email into calendar entries as an attachment.

    Notes is just a folder in email, no icon/shortcut (I'm not going to use one note the same way I use outlook notes, it serves it's own purpose, I need Outlook notes to be easily accessible.

    Can't sort Outlook notes. Not crazy about the UI but that's subjective.

    Hover and left click for word correct vs right click is a seemingly unnecessary change.

    Hello.

    I am very disappointed with the "new outlook. It is very slow, my computer act like it is a bug on it.
    The program opens, then closes and then opens again. Why should we appriciate to be forced to use it?

    Let people who is satisfied with something that works keep it. My school pay enough money to microsoft, so let us continue to do that with things that work.

    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.

    Agree 100%. I like the new look (mostly), but it's terrible in functionality. Please leave my old Outlook alone :)

    The old outlook would just open when I clicked on it. No syncing, no re-signing in every time. It would open in a nice separate window apart from edge browser. It was seamless and easy. This new thing is frustrating. It simply doesn't work, and I do not like it at all. If they are going to force something new, then they should make sure it actually works on the day they force the changes.
