Slow to open
This app is mostly great but slow to open even on high speed wifi. Blank screen upon opening doesn't help, at least put a progress bar or wheel to distract me from the slow to open app. Maybe a squirrel running?

Fix Yahoo Mail Sync
Every 2-3 days Outlook asks me to log into my Yahoo account AGAIN. It's like Outlook lost my password that I put in when I set it up. Then, if I don't enter the info, I can't ignore it or close it out. I have to delete the Yahoo account info to get to my Outlook. Please fix. Thanks!

Make it load more quickly
The first time I check Outlook in the morning or after a few hours of inactivity, I have to wait a minute or two until it refreshes. During this time, I cannot read or select a message to read, which is a waste of time.

Images
It would be really nice if you folks would fix the problem preventing images from being displayed when I open an email. Emails I received from Netflix or AMC for example suggesting new items to watch do not show any images just boxes with nothing in them. The emails display fine if I use Gmail to open them, or apple mail. This problem started occurring a few updates ago

Since this update, outlook is less responsive and tends to lock up at times. Leave well enough alone.

Read Messages
"Read" messages disappear from my inbox when I use the mobile app and I have no way to get back to them unless I go on my computer, which I don't always have access to.
