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.

  9. 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.

    Thank you for using Outlook Mobile and sharing your ideas with us. We really appreciate your support.

     

    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.
