"Select All" option
Ability to select all messages in a folder or in the inbox to perform bulk operations on.
24,314 votesGood news! Select All is an option inside of Outlook for Android. To select more than one email, either long press on a message from your inbox, or touch on the circular avatar next to a message and watch it turn into a checkmark. You can select as many emails as you’d like. Then press the 3-dot icon at the top right to perform a bulk operation. If you’d like to select all, just go to the 3-dot icon right after you’ve selected at least one email.

remove the "focus" tab, you are taking extra time from our busy day by making us keep switching back and forth between focus and regular !
please make the focus tab optional its annoying and adds time to checking email. does not load properly on the desktop and it is super annoying having to search two places for emails.
1,198 votesHey there!
If you’re not enjoying the Focused Inbox feature, you can turn it off in your settings. By switching the option off within your settings, the toggle option on the top of your inbox will disappear and all your mails will appear chronologically across your inbox. If you have further questions, we have some talented people ready to assist at Settings > Help & Feedback > Contact Support.

Make "Focused"/"Other" inbox feature optional.
I'm not a big fan of Outlook sorting my email for me and would like an option under settings to revert to pre-focus style inboxing. I can appreciate that others may like this feature, so I think making it optional is the best of both worlds.

Signature selection
It would be more convenient, when having multiple accounts with a signature programmed for each one, that when writing a new email, the signature changes automatically when selecting another account than the default one in the list.
Currently, even if you change the account, the signature still showing is the one from the default account.
