    Thank you for reaching out to let us know about your recent experience while using outlook.com.

    We have some good news! You can actually turn the Focused inbox feature off and on as you wish. To do so:
    1. Go to settings in the top right corner of your screen. On the next screen,look in the left panel.
    2.Scroll down until you see a heading titled Layout.
    3.Listed under layout you should see an option for Focused Inbox.
    After you’ve clicked on Focused Inbox you will be given the option to “sort messages into Focused and Other” or “Don’t sort messages”.
    4.After selecting one of these options make sure to click the save button at the top of your screen then click options on the top left to return to your updated inbox.

    If you are interested in learning more about our Focused inbox feature and how it works please…

  2. Make it easier for the user change your password. I cannot find anywhere on the mobile app to change my password

    Make it so that a password can be changed in the mobile app

  3. sender's email address not viewable?

    We used to be able to see the sender's actual email address in the inbox when hovering over their "name" with the mouse cursor.

    This does not work anymore. Very unsafe.

    I now have to open the virus ridden email to see who it's from, in order to verify whether or not it is from a "fake" or imposter sender.

    Please bring back the hover.

  13. Make the delete option for an unwanted folder work

    Despite having a right-click menu available for one's folders, regardless of how many times I click 'Delete' on the RSS Subscriptions Folder, it magically reappears.

    I currently have no RSS Subscriptions and never use them, and they're not even activated in my Outlook 2016.

    What is the point in having a 'Delete' option in the menu when it won't work? Please fix this, thank you.

  18. Option to switch between the new beta and the previous version

    New version that was rolled out during September 2018 is way slower than the previous one and it also lacks basic functions we were used to, like for example the option to massively Move all Emails from a recipient elsewhere ( it was under Move To > Move all email from )

    I am unable to even locate how to turn off Favorites in the upper left or move to the bottom.

    You had a simple button switching between the new and old version and it now gone, we need that so we may choose what version suits us best.
