Hi,
I'm trying New Outlook, I would like to search inside an email for text, and also search for emails in the inbox.
I cant see any way of doing these functions.
Control-F does nothing.
Can you help please ?!
Thanks

Not having an email search feature in the new Outlook is a program killer for me and I've had to switch back to Outlook (classic).
Seriously!! How could it be overlooked to be able to search within email chains? What in the literal development thought process was going on?!
I suspect this probably came about because the codebase is that created for the webmail portal, which doesn't need a search function as all browsers have that as standard. Not adding it when migrating to a standalone program was a pretty major oversight, though.

Searching for text within an email is not possible in the New Outlook. I switched back to the old version because this basic feature is missing. It feels like the New Outlook is still in a beta phase.
