Introduce us with a feature rich "Outlook lite for Android" app.
Key points :
> Better search, better time. Let's get into advanced search option with suggestive elements put up.
> Auto-capture mode of light n' dark based on dawn' dusk.
> Include Bing as BG themic daily wallpapers on the go !
> Include in-built chat option if possible for ease of communication.
> Change of font could bring a fresh outlook.
> While selecting the check-box, it selects all. Instead, select first 10 mails and limit upto 20 mails to select and delete.
> Instead of scrolling up n' down each time, just insert an "up" and "down" icon. Nevertheless, scrolling remains optional !
> Improvements in the areas of suggestion or post an idea where, when typing and scrolling upwards or downwards, it tends to drag all of a sudden elsewhere. Come on man, this one's tiresome ! Please do look into this.
> Finally, bring improvements on feedbacks as none are reverting for our so called ideas.
IN REPEAT, EXPECTING OUTLOOK LITE WITH BETTER FEATURES INCLUDING THE ABOVE ?
Thanks for bringing in-built suggestive box.

I am frustrated the instant search is missing from Outlook. Is it missing from other Office Apps? Taking it away was a bad move.

Sometimes I need to know what year an email was received/sent when searching through older emails, but can't tell what specific year it was with this app. Let's say I searched through past emails for ones with the word "spaghetti" and get 5 results, all from many years ago. I cannot tell which year those emails were received (or sent). Each email in the search results only shows it's month and day of receiving (or sending), and not the year. Thanks.

When searching for a sent email (or deleted, etc.) it doesn't show what you know is there! I usually have to fire up the laptop and open outlook to find anything. Searching for emails by person, category, etc...is just about pointless in the app. It might find something if ur lucky. I searched for a keyword to find an email, it showed me nothing I was looking for. I open up outlook on desktop, searched the same keyword in sent items and boom, its the fourth email down.. the app search is such a hot mess!!!
when u search it should:
1.) search everything and show those results
2.) give u a clear understanding of where they are. ( color code or something, the different folders. deleted, inbox, sent, etc.)
3.) give easier/better options for filtering. -

Please improve the search function on outlook!! It's so frustrating having to scroll endlessly looking for an email because it doesnt pick up key words or, when it does, it shows ancient emails!

don't know why it is so hard for Outlook to have a decent search function, the basic name search turn out to be strenuous journey and no outcome turn out. many time I want to fling and smash my phone because of this upset and frustrated experience. the idea should be streamline and the computation power or cloud server should be shored up. 5G technology solves this problem, it is the competitive server package Outlook should upgrade.

Sometimes a name is registered as a middle name in the list. I wish the search can find that

I have found that it takes several hours to move e-mails from a specific contact to a designated folder. I can find & sort mail from contacts easily in the existing search menu. However there is no "Long Press/Select All"nor an "Edit Menu" currently available in the search tab. It would help the SPAM team at Microsoft with recieving "EXACT" Usage Stats on what Emails EACH Outlook user; Moves, Archives, Deletes, Flags as Spam or Junk Mail. Please consider this idea and the ability it has to make organizing all email accounts set to use the Microsoft Outlook app possible. Thank you for your time, Shay Christensen
