  1. Apple Watch Infograph Complications

    I used the Outlook Calendar complication on the Modular watch face of my original Apple Watch all the time, so I was disappointed to see that Microsoft has not created a new Outlook Calendar complication that is compatible with the new Infograph and Infograph Modular watch faces available in Watch OS 5.0.

    Please create a new Outlook Calendar complication that is compatible with the new Infograph and Infograph Modular watch faces available in Apple Watch OS 5.0.

  4. Calendar colors

    I am a big fan of OWA for IOS. I’m sorry to see an end of Life announced for OWA.

    OWA’s calendar respects the event colors that are in the PC version of outlook. I find this very useful and that is why I prefer OWA for IOS vs Outlook for IOS.

    Will Outlook for IOS be enhanced to respect the calendar event colors from PC Outlook?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi there,

     

    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.

    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…

    Hey Everyone!

    Great news! You now have the ability to add, edit and delete contacts right from Outlook on iOS.

    If you want to delete a previously added contact, navigate to the contact section of the app> select a contact> scroll to the bottom of that contact’s card and select “Delete Contact”

  14. Folders

    I would like a folder system like google where I can have folders within folders. So for instance, as a student I like to have my folders by semesters then within that folder I have my class folders so I can separate all the emails I get from teachers and find things more easily.
