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 agree. I lost the ability to access my work account and to copy emails from one of my two personal accounts to the other.

    I'm a frequent user of Excel, which often becomes unresponsive when I make simple edits like cutting and pasting a single cell of of information to another.

    That I found the latest Outlook "upgrade" to be unusable suggests to me that Microsoft management is have growing difficulty controlling and evaluating the development of their increasingly complex and sophisticated applications. I guess that the volume and complexity of code is beyond manageable. AI, actually doing something useful??

    I too am seeing hesitations in Excel. I too believe they have complex beasts they can no longer manage and really need to start over but without penalizing the customer's w/o making us take a huge step back while they work on rebuilding these apps. I'd rather have a functional app that pauses/hesitates sometimes then a hugely scaled back/down version of it that doesn't hesitate.

    With their having moved most to a subscription model they don't really need to keep finding things to add to each app to justify peoples continuing to upgrade. Maybe that will prevent these rebooted versions of teh office apps from becoming over grown behemoths within 5-10 years

    Went back to the old version as soon as I realized I could. Irritated by sign-ins every time I opened it. The old version showed a long list of recent files when doing attachments. The new version offers 3 only and no way to add. Font is too small and nothing I do will permanently enlarge it. Hated from this first day.
