New Outlook - Completely Sucks

I agree. MS released New Outlook and using us as their test and evaluation PIGS. I have tried to use it & my productivity has suffered due to the basic functions that were removed or so-called improved.

I have gone back to OLD outlook & am now seriously looking @ & considering GMAIL as my personal & business email client.

No Bueno MS!!!

@Ellis1400 - I know it doesn't help with everything but be sure to check out forums<dot>slipstick<dot>com  an OL User forum help site run by Diane Poremsky a 30 year MS Professional who's helped probably millions of OL users

Welcome to #EmailHell and Good luck.

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 turd that is the new Outlook onto people to test.

  The new Outlook is on my brand new computer with MS version 11 and no choice for the old, Using the new version I can’t find and miss important email with all my mail being mixed in with the junk mail. It even could not properly read an important email from my brother. Fortunately, I have an older laptop computer with Window 10 using the original Outlook. The new email version that had problems reading an email completely, was handled with no problem on the old version thank goodness. I am going to use my old computer with the Windows 10 version for reading all my email from now on. If MS does not make it possible to revert back to the old version I am going to use another program for my email so I don’t have to switch between computers, or give me the old version back. Your programmers obviously don’t use your email program, if they did they would not have written this useless new version, get a new team or rehire back the old guys to fix he problem. It needs a complete rewrite which will take too long for satisfaction. If you stay with this new version you are going to get a lot of angry users and help your competition. I also prefer Windows 10 and don't like 11,all this is even making me seriously think, forgive me about Apple.

It's just a guess but a good one. OL due to age and growth/expansion over time reached a point where more changes/additions would break one or more other parts so the only solution was to start over. The New OL is the non-mobile equivalent of a 3rd party knock-off mobile version of OL. It will take years to make it anything close to what classic OL is like today and they don't want to wait that long before forcing all to using teh new OL so they're making us do it whether it's what's best for the clients or not. Admins love it but that's b/c it's easier for them to admin and provide support for because it does so little. Unlike the other Office products OL has years/decades worth of data attached to it, the users Inbox so while Word, Excel and teh rest don't require a re-start, OL likely did. It still sucks and is wrong to force users as they are doing but it's likely the why.

The new Outlook and New Teams are complete disasters. Unfortunately we will need to live with the new version of both apps. I cannot understand while some features in the classic version were eliminated. We could do a lot with just one click and now we need two or more clicks for the same task. The time suggestions for meetings is useless and customization not helpfull. Not to mention that the ability to attach a file straight from MS-Office is no longer available. The software seems to be less stable than previous version and it often shuts unexpectedly.

Do not use it if you do not have to.
