Can't log in to my newly created @outlook account
Just yesterday i created a new account, whenever i try to log in, it shows an error and wont let me continue on to my mail. It's weird because i have an older @hotmail.com account that i can access without any issues at all. I logged on to the microsoft account with it, no problems, checked if the outlook service was up and running and it was fine, your help tab didn't help me at all (and i had to access it from the older account since i couldn't even send an email to support using the new account)

Connected Account activity flagged as suspicious
I have my second Hotmail account linked to my first Hotmail account as a "Connected Account" in order to be able to sign in once and see email from all of my Hotmail accounts in one place. This is great. However, ~once every couple of weeks the IMAP sync process is flagged by Outlook as being suspicious so access to my second Hotmail account by my first Hotmail account is blocked.
As this is one Microsoft service contacting another I would expect you could identify this as safe access. It would be great to get this fixed.

Mean What You Say or Don't Say What You Don't Mean
Can Outlook features just do what they say they do? If I'm dealing with spam, "block" should mean just that - these emails should never appear in my account. And if the blocking feature says I can block domains (e.g., appspot.com), then how come I can't add those domains to the blocking list? Same with "delete" when setting rules. Or how about having emails from "safe senders" actually show up in the inbox versus "deleted items" folder? If Outlook doesn't want to allow users to have such control over their own email accounts, then stop showing these features when they…

When trying to delete a draft email, please do not delete the original email the draft is replying to
There are times when I reply to an email, but before I send it, I either resolve the issue or decide not to send the reply, but when I go to discard the draft, it deletes the email I was reply to! If I am discarding the draft, that's all I am doing! I don't want the original email I received to be deleted! Please fix this so I don't have drafts sitting in the draft folder unnecessarily!

Fix Sexist Glitch in Outlook
I have reported this multiple times within the Outlook app itself, but have never heard a response so am escalating it here. When you are in Outlook Desktop and go to insert an Online Image, you get a screen that shows a variety of tiles representing some default image search categories. The problem is that there is a category for "Man" but not a category for "Woman". This should be remedied.

I synced my Gmail account with Outlook. Surly enough the Icon appeared just below the Outlook Icon and when I hover the pointer, my Gmail address also shows. When i click, a new tab opens and my gmail address is shown. However this can not be undone. Once you sync, you can never disconnect the Gmail or remove the icon. This needs be fixed.
