    I agree the new outlook has removed functionality which i used everyday.

    Copy a whole email to send with new email doesn't seem possible.

    Spell check is left click not right click as all the other office programs. Who thought this up a Mac user?

    This is an extremely poor upgrade. I will be returning to the old version. At least I can get my work done

    I agree with you regarding the New Outlook. The Outlook program is the main reason that I remained with Microsoft. The New Outlook is letting me down:

    • I cannot copy and paste using right click in Contacts
    • I cannot do a contact search. The search box is not showing up
    • I cannot do a file retrieve to access other Outlook File in File Explorer.
    • The tab "Option does not appear.
    • I cannot format my text in Contacts. (The right Click does not work.)

    I was forced to use the New Version because. the synchronisation in te Classic Outlook was taking up to 20 mins to complete. (It is immediate with the New Version.)

    In the Old version the accented letters repeated themselves when using [ALT] and {CODE] This is working well in the New Outlook.

    If there are no immediate improvements to New Outlook, I see a mass exodus to Apple . I will be very sad. I have been working with Microsoft Products since the beginning of PC's and I will be out of my comfort zone with other products, but there are limits to what one must put up with.

    Copy/Paste is a basic tool of business. Other than Jobs I thought everyone agreed on this.

    1. It can't open msg files from the old outlook
    2. It can't open eml files
    3. it can't do copy paste

    Why not just re-label mail and calendar as "New" NewOutlook and admit that that tool worked and worked well.

    I have the same question. I thought it was just me being stupid! When I click on reply it does not give me the option of opening in another window.

    I used to be able to click and paste easily before and it saves a lot of time when writing a piece of the same emails to a few different people.

    If there are any other suggestions I would like to hear please.
