Please include the sweep command that has been in Web based Hotmail-Outlook for many years.
This is the Command that makes it easy to hunt down and delete mail from the same sender

There are some limitations on the app currently. Sweep is one of them. This is a very important part of using outlook and it would be nice not to have to log into a browser to do it.

Please add the ability to setup a sweep like in the O365 webmail. This should also be the ability to add/modify rules.

Example: email A is from user@sender.com and you go to move it to a folder called ‘Sender’s Emails’. move option/screen has option to sweep (bulk move) all emails from user@sender.com in inbox to ‘Sender’s Emails’ folder.

The recent change where Move shows only a reduced list of recently used folders is not necessarily a helpful feature. It should still be possible to show all folders if that is the user preference. So a toggle switch to make this new feature optional would be preferable.

The sweep feature was “THE” reason I used outlook over gmail in the past. It must come back. It is probably the most time saving feature since... email.

Make the same directional sweep of emails as the iPhone software. In other words use the same direction to delete and same direction to flag. Right now they are opposite so when one switches from Outlook to the iPhone email, it is very easy to accidentally delete important emails by trying, in the contrary, to flag them because they are important

need Sweep feature (rules eg delete all but most recent from sender), like in apple Mail
I downloaded your Outlook and tested it for about 30 minutes. The moment I saw it didn’t have that feature: DELETE
Back to Mail.

Please add this feature. Sets outlook.com apart from your competitors and is one of the most efficient methods for cleaning up a modern Inbox. Will allow me to totally ditch the built in iOS mail application and prevent me from launching the desktop version of the website on my iPad.

There NEEDS to be a feature which allows users to sweep their inbox to delete ALL emails from specific senders (unwanted or spam).
There also NEEDS to be filters that can be set to send any future emails from senders straight to the spam/junk folder.
These are regular features I use on Outlook on my Mac, and are NECESSARY to prevent excessive buildup of unwanted spam and junk.
MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
Thanks

Yes, please add it. It is the main reason why I use Outlook instead of gmail, so not having it in the app was a huge letdown for me.

Please add sweep feature to mobile app. You have it on the desktop. It made filtering junk and other emails easy in the Inbox. Why not in the mobile app too?

Add those features. Sweep is real handy for getting closer to inbox zero and an Empty Trash option would remove the additional steps of selecting all then selecting Permanently Delete.
