When drafting an email, the cursor should default to the "to" line, not the body text section.

This (the cursor jumping to the message body and not letting me address the email first) is a major annoyance. Please fix this.

when composing new emails from my phone, it would be nice if the starting point is the email address section, and not the body.

Why is this marked as "Completed"? What does that mean?

When composing a new email the cursor jumps to the body of the email rather than starting in the To or even Subject fields.

Don't jump to the body of the email when composing a new email. Make it an option for the user. When I write an email I, type the address(es) first and then write the body of the email. Some people might prefer it the other way so make it an option.

Outlook, is there a fix or not? If there is a fix then post it, not sure why you are suggesting we need to go via Settings > Help and Feedback > Contact Support

At some stage the New Mail button changed from starting with the cursor in the To block and instead putting the cursor in the body. What makes it worse is that it starts in To then jumps to body so as I start typing the recipient, it fills it in the body

The cursor now lands in the body of the email. The first thing I want to do is address the email. Land the cursor in the "To" field

each time i start a new email the focus cursor is already in the message body. this is inconsistent with the desktop experience. i think it would be better if the focus would be in the To-line because I want to write the receiver name first before writing the message.

when composing a mail, the focus is on the email body, allowing me to start writing the message itself. that, however, often causes the app to scroll the "to" field out of the visible area to increase the "screen real estate" for the message body. when i want to enter the recipients i then have to scroll up again before tapping into the "to" field to select them. i prefer to enter the recipients first and then select the email body, that's slightly quicker. it is also the default of the Gmail app, so quite a few users might benefit from this option.
