I hate the New Outlook

This is the worst update. I have so many email addresses. For work, personal, parents I care for. I can't link to one mailbox, I have to check each and every one. You get no notification. And to make matters worse, they now make it harder to switch back. You should be entitled to choose which app we prefer, not forced upon us!

I have tried and tried to like it, but it just doesn't work for me. Why wouldn't you take ALL the features and simply add even better ones. I can't get one notification for an email received, I have to click on each email address, go to the inbox and then see. It is so time consuming! Surely SOMEONE is listening to our peeves!

    My utmost apologies. I screwed up in this post, due to my faulty memory.

    I am a traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivor; lost all function of my right frontal lobe - including all sense of smell, most of taste, verbal phrasing, and drastic short-term memory.

    I've been relearning everything since my 2005 TBI. I must learn, and relearn, darned near everything, every day, for the rest of my life.

    Sorry [removed - COC violation]

    Didn't mean to do so . . your original post must have triggered something in my remaining half-a-brain.

    What I posted today - about my brilliant blind boss and microsoft's lack of ensuring the updates were disabled-accessible -was the absolute truth.

    As a brain-damaged disabled person myself - microsoft's updates/changes to menu options have been extremely frustrating to me.

    In my career (pre-TBI) I taught over 10,000 people how to use computers & over 1200 software packages.

    Can't do that now - except for Excel (stolen from Lotus 1-2-3), and Word ([removed] version of WordPerfect).

    I am brain-damaged, but not stupid. Please do not consider me as such.
