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.

    Absolutely agree! Typical MS. Push something out because developers and marketing think it's what people want. It completely sucks. Might as well switch to Apple. And no, I don't want AI to decide what I want to see or do.

    True but ever since Microsoft changed it's model, from selling software toy selling subscriptions to companies., they no longer need to satisfy users, just make happy the decision makers at these companies. Sweet talk, wine & dine and show the company reps a good time to get them to sign on the dotted line. What the majority of the actual users care is irrelevant and they know it thus they are using this chance to force us onto **** we wouldn't other pays for.

    To pile on the wagon, I absolutely agree. the 'shortcuts' to word, excel, send you to the web apps. To-Do is the same, and non-functional in app. But the absolute deal breaker is that from word or excel, you cannot 'send a copy' - the functionality is totally broken. Please do not discontinue the real outlook application anytime soon - I'd rather swap to thunderbird than to deal with this in its current state.

    Why did you change the calendar printing function? I need to print my work week calendar on a single page in landscape format. I did this for years and it was perfect. There were nice gridlines marking the half hours. It was easy to read and required no formatting. Now you expanded the simple weekly calendar onto two pages. Please restore the previous function! I'm frustrated, this is beyond ridiculous. Microsoft even broke on the previous version of Outlook calendar printing, so I guess I won't be printing my calendar anymore. Life is difficult enough without one's work software ceasing to perform basic functions reliably the way it used to.

    Hello.

    I am very disappointed with the "new outlook. It is very slow, my computer act like it is a bug on it.
    The program opens, then closes and then opens again. Why should we appriciate to be forced to use it?

    Let people who is satisfied with something that works keep it. My school pay enough money to microsoft, so let us continue to do that with things that work.
