    Hi there,

     

    Thank you for using Outlook Mobile and sharing your ideas with us. We really appreciate your support.

     

    It is currently already possible to select multiple emails at once. To do so, long press on an email until a checkmark appears at the left of it. Once you’ve selected multiple emails, you’ll then be able to perform mov actions on them, like moving, deleting, marking as read/unread, archiving… A “Select All” option will also appear in the top right corner.

     

    Having trouble finding the feature? Let us know through the Help section of the app. You may reach them by going to the app’s Setting > Help and Feedback > Contact Support

     

    Thank you again for your support, we look forward to hearing more of your ideas very soon.

  10. allow for your server on the mobile app to access ALL prior emails...there are some emails that are only searchable on the desktop version.

    searchable key words are limited on the mobile app. I have found that the same key words led me to emails I was looking for only on the desktop version of outlook. The same keywords lead to nothing on my phone.

  12. I constantly get results back where the email cannot be read nor acted upon. Why bother searching if OL cannot allow one to do anything?

    When I open an email from search results. The message body is blank. I cannot delete the message nor move it. What good is a non actionable result item?

    Hi there,

     

    Thank you for using Outlook Mobile and sharing your ideas with us. We really appreciate your support.

     

    There are a few quick and easy way to delete emails from the Outlook app.

     

    1. Delete button in reading view.

    Simply tap on the “trash” icon on the upper right corner of the screen to delete the email that’s currently open.

    2. Swipe to delete.

    Swipe the email to the left. By default, this will archive the email. However, you can customize Swipe Options in the Settings and change the action to Delete.

    3. Bulk delete.

    This is very useful when you want to delete multiple emails at once. To do this, long press on an email until a checkmark appears at the left of it. Once you’ve selected multiple emails, you’ll then be able to perform the following actions: deleting, marking as read, archiving. A “Select…

  15. When searching for a contact, always show all their emails. It's not consistent and sometimes only shows attachments and events
