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.

    I find it most odd that microsoft cares so little not to respond throughout this entire thread. Yesterday microsoft asked if i was enjoying outlook on my phone- i responded it completely stinks and no response from them.

    I can't believe that this level of poorly though out product has been released by MS. I always try to adapt to new feather / look / functions when they come out, but this is beyond ridiculous. Things that don't work after switching, that have made my use of the email and calendar cumbersome.

    1. Location when clicked does not got to map - before I could select a program and it would go directly to map the location so I can figure our my rout.
    2. Searching for emails, they "X" is gone to exit out of the filter in the search bar. This is ridiculous.

    3 Downloading files does not provide options of where to save on my C: drive.

    1. Opening an attachment opens another window with a stupid preview rather then the actual file.
    2. Will not let me allow my other account even though it imported some things from old outlook (signature, etc.)

    This is only after a week. Very poor execution!!!

    Completely agree! This is the kind of feedback Microsoft should listen to.

    How could such a horrible rendition of this program get released. I have used Outlook Mail for years and now almost everything I do with the new Outlook is problematic. I do link other products like gmail and Icloud to Outlook. Apparently some of that got broken when the new Outlook installed. I did my best to resync everything. When I try to edit or delete duplicate contact entries. it takes me to a different contact. Deleting a contact often fails. I can no longer copy and paste something into an email, I am forced to drag and drop but of course it has to be a Ctrl-Drag and Drop otherwise it just opens the item. When I try to create an email of any length there is always some problem where it either deletes the email or turns it into a draft. It is difficult to cut and past prior meesages in replies. I could go on but those are just a few of many issues. The program stinks so much I can almost smell it. It's too bad. Something which worked fairly well has been ruined.
