Revert to Cmd-K for send receive from the current Ctrl-Cmd-K
Send/Receive used to be Cmd-K. For some reason you have now changed this to Ctrl-Cmd-K, which is far less convenient. The amended command can now only be done by the left hand, whereas the previous command was ambidextrous on a standard Mac keyboard layout. I would like the Send/Receive to revert to Cmd-K.

Enable OAuth Login Feature to Add Mail Accounts
Mail Account provider Sky Yahoo, have introduced new requirements for adding their Mail Accounts to other programs, e.g. OUTLOOK (desktop). Yahoo has removed the feature for generating a third-party App Password, so it is not now possible to add an existing or new account to OUTLOOK. The implication is that Microsoft Outlook needs to be updated to enable add/use some Mail Accounts. Outlook IOS seems unaffected, so I would like to suggest that Microsoft Outlook introduces an OAuth style feature.
Meanwhile, I cannot use my primary sky Yahoo email on my Office 365 Outlook for Mac and have had to…

The slide bad overlaps with the follow-up flag
The slide bad overlaps with the follow-up flag. When you try to click on the flag right after scrolling through messages using the track bar, most of the times you end up clicking the slide bar instead of the flag because of the overlap.

Notification Rules/Alerts for Sub Folders.
It is important to set different notification rules for subfolders to manage the mails efficiently.
We see the badges, the number of mail received in the subfolder, but doesn’t notify us that a new email arrived.
There should be an option in the rules whether we want desktop alert or notification for emails that come into that particular subfolder.

I suggest you add spell check before sending as an option.
I suggest you add spell check before sending as an option. Yes there is spell check as you go but spell before sending is better and what people are used to using outlook. Not sure why the MAC version has to miss such clear essentials.
