It’s annoying having to check 2 inboxes every day, it’s far more convenient to just have the one.

Missing cursor
In this update I can’t see my cursor when typing an email. At least I couldn’t after I interrupted the typing. I think I “lost” it after I got a message. I swiped down to answer the text, swiped back up, and then lost the cursor. I think that’s how it happened. Besides making it hard to edit my email by typing, it also made select/select all pretty difficult!

Empty Deleted Items
An option to empty the deleted items folder
6 votesHi 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…
