Don't hide the REAL email address of the sender. Outlook only shows a coloured circle with a letter, dangerous spams are hidden this way.
Dangerous spams use a false but trusted looking address as name. The real address that actually shows its a spam is hidden behind a useless coloured circle in outlook.

Why has this not been addressed yet. Very poor from a tech company who claims to be security conscious yet fails to act on such a basic issue and one which alot of its users have asked to be addressed. Why did you ever introduce such a ridiculous feature in the first place?

This was submitted exactly 2 years ago, with SO MANY votes, and yet it's STILL not coming true! Even on desktop browser, we have to click to view more info to see the REAL email address, so we can finally see if it's a phishing scam or not! And that lets the scammer's system see that it got attention, so they can spam us more and sell our email addresses as "verified active" and thus get more money out of it! PLEASE! Let us have the option to show the actual email address, not the name and mask that can trick so many people into becoming victims of scams and infected with spyware and viruses! PLEASE? 😭

I won't open an email if I dont know the sender or can't see the senders address (too many spammers and phishing scams). That means I can't open half the emails I get with my phone - I have to wait until I'm on my PC. That effectively makes Outlook useless on my phone!

fully agree with geza sereny . outlook should immediately remove this circle and allow full view of sender email address. recently due to this circle i missed a phishing spam for almost a month

this 8s such a dangerous and annoying issue and one that should have been dealt with ages ago. Get it together Outlook, seriously this is 2021, take a look at how well some other email providers are ramping up their security..not down....

first clue of a phishing email is the return address. Too **** hard to see it in Outlook. Stop hiding it!!!

Ive noticed that people have been complaining about this for over a year. I don't think Hotmail actually read any of these customer issues.

This is such an easy fix for Hotmail. Scam emails rely on Hotmail to hide their email address by default. If customers could automatically see the full email address they would instantly know it was suspicious.

Create better ways to respond to Phishing attempts from the app. This app hides the sending address, making it difficult to spot what's from a fraudster. We need a way to protect ourselves. This app puts people's data at risk in a negligible way.
