Robert:
AOL transfer to outlook.
I can’t see all my emails that go way back to 1979. I have thousands of emails saved from the past with attachments.Outlook Support: Petar.
This is because the Outlook mobile app only syncs last 1000 managed mails or the one that are 30 days old (whichever case comes in first). 👍 You won't be able to search through older mails in this app. If you would like to see this feature available on your device, please share your idea with our developing team. We have improved our feature requests by allowing our users to comment and vote! :) Just tap Settings -> Help & Feedback -> Suggest a feature. 🙂Let me know if you need any additional assistance with the Outlook app on your device. I'll be happy to help.
Thanks,

This app has to many restraints. Let us know when you fix your app.
As of now I cannot use it. Back to AOL or someone else. -

I believe an option to set the time range of mail retention on the phone would be useful. For example, if I only wanted my device to show the past 2 weeks of email, I could set it that way. This would prevent the email from taking up to much space on the device. The date range options could vary but maybe something like 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, etc.

Calendar in outlook on iPhone only goes back 2 months. It’s a joke right? How can there be no setting for this, but on Android it synchronises the whole calendar

It took me three refreshes to load flagged mails more than 3 years old.

From time to time the emails disappear and I need to go to the last email and press load more mails. Please keep my emails always loaded.

Hi,
Please setup an option to work with data like fetch, manual and push.
It would be valuable also to be able to pop notifications for calendar meetings, while for email to be able to only to badge the number on the app icon.
These options are very important for users who receive emails 24/7 and have hundreds of emails per day. From one side to allow ease of use for meetings during office hours, to spare personal time and battery.
Thank you in advance!

Give the ability to set sync days time frame (e.g. 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month). The native iOS mail app offers this feature.

Ability to set how many days to sync (e.g. 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month) just like the native iOS mail app. This feature has been on the native app for a long time.

Prefer if there is a feature to configure Manual Sync and Auto Push. This is because by setting Manual Sync, we won’t be bug by the hundred of notification during our personal time. Secondly, it consume more battery life. Third, we could save the 4G data limit as we can choose to Sync only when we connect to WiFi.

Your Mobile syncing and versatility using the app is awful compared to the PC Outlook. You need to do massive improvement. The syncing needs to be in real time. And it rarely syncs correctly from phone to server and then to PC.

Adding quiet time would be the number one improvement. It would be very nice to be able to define the hours when the App Syncs email. Ex. 8-17 and then start syncing again next morning.

Improved synchronisation - folders and their contents.
More timely download of emails from servers, very random as to how long before an email is detected and then downloaded

I would like to be able to opt for fetching data instead of push mail and so I could set it up to fetch manually or on a scheduled basis. Although push mail has its own advantages, in my case it is just a serious and unnecessary drain on the battery.

The syncs between the Outlook App for iPhone and the Exchange account are very poor. E.g I’m missing some inbox folders, even they are existent on the Exchange account on my laptops Outlook and the mail server itself. Checked all the settings, everything should be fine.

Any progress on this one? Being able to turn off push-sync for off-work hours would be a great option.
