    Hey There!

    We recently added the ability to have a badge count of all your unread conversations right on the app icon. To enable/disable this feature please go to the app settings> scroll down to badge count> from here you can choose to show a badge count for all emails, focused only, or turn it off completely.

    This feature is currently available for Samsung, Sony, and LG devices as well as for users running the Microsoft Launcher on their Android device.

    Having trouble with these features? Let our in-app support team know by going to settings> help & feedback > contact support. We are here to help!

    Thank you again for your support, we look forward to hearing more of your ideas very soon.

    Hey there!

    If you’re not enjoying the Focused Inbox feature, you can turn it off in your settings. By switching the option off within your settings, the toggle option on the top of your inbox will disappear and all your mails will appear chronologically across your inbox. If you have further questions, we have some talented people ready to assist at Settings > Help & Feedback > Contact Support.

  8. have a select button so you can delete multiple emails at once

    I would like to be able to delete multiple emails at the same time. I do not like the idea of having to open every email to delete it. many of the emails or spam or junk and I do not wish to open them. I prefer just to be able 2 delete them at one time.

    Hi there,

     

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

    It is currently already possible to perform bulk action in the app. 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 All” option will also appear in the top right corner.

  9. Do not disturb when off work (inverse of the current, when at work)

    I want to not be disturbed when off work, i.e at home. Weekends are currently possible, but I want evenings as well. Just like the inverse of 'at work' do not disturb.
    The reason being: I don't carry my laptop to every meeting, but would like notifications when I get an email or have an upcoming meeting

    Hey, Everyone!

    We added some features to make deleting emails faster.

    You can customize your left and right swipe actions for easier deletion of emails without opening them. To do so head to the app Settings > Swipe Options from there you will be able to choose from a list of swipe actions.

    We also have included the ability to mass delete multiple emails at one time: To do so Tap and hold any email in the folder > top on the 3 vertical dots on the top right corner > Choose select all > Tap the trash icon at the top of the screen.

    We currently do not have the setting to delete emails directly from the notification but you can help us by adding your votes and comments to the following link: https://outlook.uservoice.com/forums/293346-outlook-for-android/suggestions/8065947-allow-customized-buttons-in-notifications-such-as

  13. A Do Not Disturb feature for "after hours"

    A Do Not Disturb feature for "after hours" would be great. if you could allow custom times, e.g. 8pm - 6am, that would be even better.
