Get rid of “Read More” button.
Having a “Read More” button in long emails is stupid. I opened the email because I wanted to read it. Not just the first few paragraphs.
And if you insist on having this then at least have the button work properly. Currently hitting “Read More” just opens the email in a new window and *takes you back to the top of the email*. So then you’re left scrolling through trying to find where you were at and completely lose your train of thought.

Can we please just see the entire email without having to click the “Request More” link, open another window, then scroll all the way down? Internet bandwidth isn’t an issue in 2019. Why do we have to click and scroll multiple times? Total pain!

This feature adds no value and a waste of time.

Can we please load the entire message always rather than needing to tap “Read More” to view the remaining portion of the message? Nearly half of my messages require me to tap Read More to finish viewing them. It gets old needing to perform this every day on so many messages.

On my iPhone, when reading long mails, one can choose for “read more”. The mail then opens in a windows, and continues to read where left of.
On my iPad, when choosing “ read more” , the text jumps to the first line of the mail... -

Outlook already downloads the entire message so why not just display it? The irritating “Read more” button halfway through interrupts the flow of reading and, most of the time, sends you right back to the beginning. Please abolish the “Read more” button.

This function does not add any value.

When I receive lengthy emails, the full email does not display. At some point, I have to click a “Read More” button, at which point the email pops open in a new window and I have to scroll from the beginning of the email all the way down to where I was when I encountered the “Read More” button. I would like to get rid of this feature. Why can’t the entire email be read without the annoying “Read More” button?

This is not useful at all. One of the dumbest features I have ever encountered.

Stop making us hit the X in the very top left corner after hitting Read More. Let us simply swipe from the left of the screen like we do any other time we go out of an email. If you must have the X, move it to the bottom where we can click it one handed on the go and have the option of positioning it on the left or right.
Thanks!

This is more steps than necessary.

Wastes time, just show the whole email on open! When using Read More one has to scroll down to the spot one left off. And there are no three dots for reply, reply to all and forward. Dumb!

Remove the extra time and steps to use this function. After tapping read more it lands at the top of the long email, one has to scroll all the way down to the location one tapped Read More.

Wastes time. Show full content when opening an email. Scrolling on devices is quick and easy.

This is the #1 thing that bugs me about Outlook for iOS. Inefficient. At least include an option to turn it off.

When you are away on a vacation, you set an autoreply, but the sender Will only receive one Mail that says that I’m on vacation.
It would be great IF I could choose to send one Mail with the info that you are away - or that you would send one for every Mail that enters your inbox.

I hate having to open an additional window to read the balance of an email message. It’s stupid, it’s in efficient, and is typical of overthinking by Microsoft.

When I am reading a long email (on iPad using Outlook app) particularly a newsletter, it does not load the entire message, but as I scroll down, “Read More” appears. Pressing that then expands the message to fill most of the iPad screen and allows me to continue reading (though it doesn’t remember, usually, where I was in the message).
It would be way more convenient to have the “Read More” option at the TOP of the message, not the bottom. And it would be nice to display ANY message, not just a long one, in this full-size window. I don’t see any other way to do this.
Thanks.
