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.

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    Totally agree.

    New formatting system is trash - full of errors, not even as good as the old Outlook. Every attached file has to be downloaded or uploaded to OneDrive - meaningless.

    Even the UI sucks. Do fire the development team cause they are planning to force users to use these useless features.

    Here are some more issues with missing functionality:

    1. There is no obvious way to attach a file without it being a link to sharepoint or one drive. This is unacceptable. Life is hard enough! Please restore the functionality.

    I agree with whoever said (on this issue) that Microsoft is driving all traffic to their website, urls, and web-applications. I want to have more control and I dislike using the web apps. I would like to default every file to open in the software /app on my laptop. This is not the case -- even if you set this as your preference-- because when you send a link to a file it opens online, regardless of your preferences.

    Thanks for listening!!

    same here, why would i want to open a browser to use my tasks which previously displayed in a box within outlook. Also i use notes and new outlook makes them a useless folder that can only sort by date. Absolute garbage, here is a tip, when upgrading don't take stuff away, make it more seamless and usefull, ToDo function being browser based when we specifically want to use an app is a fantastic way to push your customers away.

    The old version was still installed and I could open either one. I uninstalled Outlook New and never looked back. I'm running Windows 10 on my desktop and still have the toggle up in the upper right corner. I don't let my mouse pointer get anywhere close to that thing.
