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.

    It sucks because half of my emails are no-where to be seen, only because I went directly into my gmail account, is how I found them

    AMEN!

    I'd love to know what pretend geniuses came up with this garbage. This is a %100 dumbed-down version of the existing Outlook app. I never thought there could be a desktop version of OL worse than OWA but Microsoft has proven me wrong.

    Let's see just what all you no longer can do, features lost that Microsoft is marketing as a plus, a step forward.

    1. Sorting By column header to group your messages by Sender, Subject, Attachments b/c there are no more columns. Yes you can get to a sort by but it's limited to a handful of choices not including things like Attachment.
    2. Adding additional columns to your inbox or trying to customize your Inbox view in any way other than a handful if insignificant options are now gone
    3. Expect to put in more hours at work if you use email b/c this is absolutely going to negatively impact your productivity.

    We have a New Outlook, and spellcheck doesn't work AGAIN!!!!! What is it with Microsoft? Every web based e-mail interface does spell check. So now we are paying Microsoft monthly or yearly to use the subscription model for O365 or M365 (BTW stop changing the name all the time) for office products, and the Outlook app always comes up with spell check turned off. Why would you have spellcheck turned off as a DEFAULT setting? In what world does that make sense?

    In addition Microsoft changed the interface yet again and moved everything. So previously posted help messages trying to describe how to turn on spell check are out of date again.

    Microsoft, pay attention to your feedback for a change. You are heading for a fall.

    Hello Darpan,

    There are a lot of basic features that are missing from the new Outlook. For example the scrolling calendar; not be able to see the end of a month at the same time as the beginning of the next makes scheduling around this time more difficult than it needs to be (especially since it's on old Outlook). Setting up clickable checkboxes on old outlook works great, but that feature isn't on the new Outlook. Saving a template email doesn't seem possible on new outlook but was on old.

    Best
