    When you have to hit “Read More” it doesn’t go to the top of the message again, it stays in the same location you were in before you hit it. Same thing with when you leave, don’t send back to top.

    Literally every email I get is longer than your threshhold before you make me click read more. The extra step, extra time and extra window is frustrating. I can scroll faster than that. And then I also have to take two hops to delete the mail I'm reading when I'm done. I get that you're trying to help things load faster. In my case, it costs more time. Can you make that a configurable setting please?

    Please enable a feature whereby I can keep all emails stored locally.

    Please add the option to allow users to load more emails than the default setting of a month. This allows users with a lot of emails to work with the client more efficiently.

    Hey,

    Why do I have to ‘load more conversations’? Is it a bandwidth issue my end?
    Annoying interface. Not sure if it’s apple v Microsoft beef but ffs sort. it. out. Please.
    Best (coding, to you)

    When I’m reading an email and I get halfway through it I am interrupted by ‘Read more?’ I am always annoyed by this while I wait until Outlook opens an additional window.

    This ‘feature’ has absolutely no value! It makes me angry that stupidity like this infects so many MS products.

    Turn this off by default.

    Read More button opens up a blank window 90% of the time. Completely annoying and unnecessary. Should just automatically show most recent email and let the user choose to go back and read the history if they want

    Need a way to stop cutting long emails and needing to click “Read More”. I receive several long reports and it is very frustrating having to click read more and find my place again. Or at least have the read more button auto scroll to the last location in the email.

    Hi Outlook Support (& Marketing) Team,

    The Outlook iOS app is generally best in iOS mail class and potentially No. 1 overall. However, to be No. 1 there is a huge user productivity improvement that must be addressed. Outlook's main competitors in iOS mail apps do not have the following problem (for many years) :

    - When reading/viewing certain emails, the requirement to "Read More ..." in a new separate popout window.

    I raised this matter with Support previously and recently via the new "Contact Support Experience". I was advised to submit another feature suggestion.

    Could you kindly advise if there is any intention to specifically address this problem. Thanks

    Ideally, remove the ‘Read more’ button and show the whole message or failing that, show the button at the top of the message, so I don’t have to get half way through the message, hit the button, then scroll through the pop-up to find where I had got to, so that I can continue reading the message.

    I want to be able to have the complete inbox with all emails stored locally shouldn’t be that it loads it from the server every time.

  • Brian Buck commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Hello, on my iPad when I hold it vertically, the email list is squished next to the reading window. I think it would be useful to be able to hide the reading window.

    Thank you!

    Dieses nervige Feature ist der Hauptgrund, warum ich nicht vollständig auf Outlook umsteige.

    DELETE THE “READ MORE... “ FEATURE

    Please allow emails to fully load. It is very annoying to be reading a long email and then have to hit the read more button to continue reading in a new window.

    Why does the “read more...” feature exist?

    I’m ready to delete this app because of it and move back to native Apple Mail

    Thank you for the consideration and any adjustments made

  • Ryan Gerstner commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This drives me crazy. Half the time it doesn’t show in the first place and I have to re-open the message to be able to click read more. It’s super annoying and if I quit using Outlook, it’ll probably be the #1 reason. Read more literally adds nothing of benefit. Not sure who thought it was a good idea for a feature.

  • Folke Rega commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    There is no obvious reason cutting off long emails or shortening the message. Emails are meant to be read at all!
