New Outlook vs. Outlook in Microsoft 365

Yup, that's the exact goal... to confuse users. They are all outlook now. Outlook on the web (browser), Outlook desktop app, Outlook (new), Outlook [released year], Outlook (PWA), Outlook <fill in the blanks>

Thank you shiggitylockless for arrowing in even more precisely on the point I was making.

If in time we cannot afford the Office 365 Subscription, then there are countless YouTube Windows gurus out there making a living by exulting how easy it is to get Office 365 Free and we will take advantage of that, er, generosity.

I would add, that Microsoft's decision to hand over for free so much of what we have paid for (as a subscriber of some years standing) was damn annoying. If it weren't for the fact I'm the nerdy type who likes the latent paid (extra) functionality, I would be (even more) cheesed off than I am.

Have you received answers to your questions yet?

Hi Karl. Thank you for the excellent differences between Outlook mail clients. I have the same frustration as others regarding which Outlook desktop app vs. online offer the best user-friendly experience for mail apps, etc. Last year I had been using Windows Mail and loved it. Then forced to move to the "New Outlook" on the web late in the year. And so far, I do not care for it at all. It really has some shortfalls over Microsoft Outlook and Windows Mail.

An issue I have with the New Outlook is that I have been unable to find a solution online (and from Microsoft Support) on how to turn off the mail autosave feature. Frequently, during creating a new email, portions of the draft email is saved to my Draft folder, and not knowing if the finished email actually got sent or not. Also, I have a draft/partial email that keeps popping up in the Delete folder even after I empty the Trash. Been happening past two months and I cannot successfully delete the draft.

Microsoft Support told me both issues are issues with the new Outlook and that I should "TOGGLE" back to the old classic version of Outlook to bypass the autosave and delete issues.

Third issue is with finding out how to set incoming new emails in my inbox to turn as READ emails (unbolded) when clicked on to read them. Most times I click on them to read and they will turn back to being unread (bolded). I have tried all three options in Settings for mail and have not worked. Help?

I appreciate any help you may be able to provide. Thank you.

I have successful access to my yahoo email with "new Outlook." I have worked many days and cannot get my yahoo email to work within Outlook Microsoft 365. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to add my Yahoo email to Microsoft 365 as well. It finally worked when I added it as a POP3 account.

In order to do this, you need to log into your Yahoo! account management settings, and create a special password for Outlook.

Thanks for posting. I was wondering if this was only happening to me.
