Allow to revert to the old Ribbon icon set in Outlook 2016
Allow to revert to the old Ribbon icon set in Outlook 2016 especially in Enterprise scenario.
1,165 votesThank you for taking the time to provide feedback about the new icons. We know any change to the user experience can be disruptive at first, especially major changes like updating all the icons. Even though these new icons have been through many rounds of feedback and refinement with real customers, we’re sorry you’re not finding the new icons helpful.
The new icons incorporate customer feedback we had received on the old icon design: bolder lines and higher color contrast helps make icons are more visible when using your computer near a window, a laptop in direct sunlight, or for folks with less than perfect vision. The new icons are also built using scalable graphics so they are never pixelated and can adapt to any device — whether it’s a monitor you’ve had for many years or a brand new 4K display. We’re also evolving the user interface designs on…

Add BCC as well as FYI field to meeting requests in Outlook 2016
I would like the option to send meetings requests with BCC so all information about all invitees is not shared with everyone that is invited
Also, Outlook calendar entries need BCC – without showing these!

Reply all with attachments included in Outlook 2016
In Microsoft Outlook 2016, when reply all to the email with attachments, the attachments are not available and we have to attach them manually. An option to reply all to the email with all the attachments included would be more productive in Microsoft Outlook 2016 as that option is not available as of now.

Enable an option to display declined meetings
Enable an option to display declined meetings in teh calendar (in settings). Often initially one is not available for a meeting, but then due to changes of schedule might be able to join, but since that meeting is not displayed in calendar, simply forgets about that. I found that option very helpful in Google mail that we used up to now in the company.

Do not cancel from my calendar the declined invitations
When I decline an invitation I do not see anymore on my calendar.
Moreover I am removed from the contacts of the invitation and if someone send an update of the timing of report meeting to all contact of the invitation I don't receive the update/report
It should be better to evidence in the invitation that i do not partecipate, but do not remove me, in this way I can receive updates and meeting report.384 votes -
Change ownership of calendar event in Outlook 2016
Sometimes the owner of a meeting (or, more often, meeting series) is on vacation or changes jobs; it would be nice if they could assign ownership of an instance (for vacation) or the full series (for job changes) to someone else.

Email Signature Sync across devices
It would be great if Outlook sync'd your email signature across multiple devices so that you only have to set or update it once.

Allow signatures to be synced between different machines for the same office 365 account
I use more than one machine to read & send emails using Outlook 365. I would like any signature that I create to be automatically synced (including with office.com) so that it is available regardless of which machine I am using.

Provide ability to change the color of the reading pane or set background and text color for the reading pane
The dark theme is great in Outlook, however the inability to change the background and text color of the reading pane make it almost painful.
It would be fantastic to have the ability to configure the default CSS for the reading pain and text/html therein.

Outlook Meeting Response Option of "INFORMATION ONLY"
Meetings as FYI Only -
Please add a fourth meeting response option such as "Information Only" which automatically responds "Decline" but leaves the meeting info on your calendar. The meeting response would also automatically show the calendar as "FREE" with "No Reminder". This allows the user to change their response without having to sift through deleted emails or respond tentative leaving others to guess as to your meeting participation when you have no intention of going at all.

Ability to get the count of attendees invited/declined/accepted
Want number/quantity of attendees invited/declined/accepted to meeting/appointment in scheduling assistant. Also there should be a possibility to highlight the row for a selected meeting attendee in the Outlook scheduling assistant. This will improve the readability: when scheduling with lots of attendees, it’s hard to discern which person is unavailable when all you see are blobs of blue with no name connected to them.

Provide an option to assign colors for incoming emails in Microsoft Outlook 2016 for easy identification
Provide an option to assign colors for incoming emails in Microsoft Outlook 2016 for easy identification. Designate my supervisors emails writing in Red as an example. Just being able to assign a font color to a person for incoming mail so they pop out at you. Especially when you receive hundreds of emails a day. I would rather have that then the little color boxes.

A series of recurring past appointments should not be changed just because I change the end date or the number of appointments.
I am a Business English Trainer working in Germany and my calendar is always full of recurring appointments. Often my clients need to change a single appointment to another day or to cancel it completely. They nearly always have a set amount of weeks in which their training lasts. Therefore, if a lesson is cancelled in advance, the total amount of appointments must remain the same but only the end date changes. Whenever I try to change the end date, the whole series must be reset and then past changes (such as changing a single appointment from a Tuesday to…
