You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

    can we have the search function back? Now it only searches for contacts - this app is so useless now.

  5. someone has set rules on my account. it would be nice to be able to cancel all rules permanently and temporary. you can then see all mail.

    I want to see where my emails are getting filtered. I have a sender that is sending and I can see as a preview. however it is not in any of my inboxes. I need to be able to turn off the filter or see all filters to manage the folder rules.

  12. BUG / ISSUE: When I return to search results, emails no longer open

    When I perform a search, I am successfully able to open an email item in those search results as expected. however, when I go back to the same search results and try to open another email item, the item fails to open. I can reproduce this every time. If I perform a new search, and try to open the item that previously would not open, it opens just fine.

    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…
