Provide an option or a button to pull more messages down when working in Cached mode in Microsoft Outlook 2016
When working in Cached Mode and your folder says "Only displaying messages newer than x months", how about a button to force Outlook to download more instead of having to go into the Account Settings to make a change that affects more than the one folder you're looking in.

Multiple choices of colors, background and themes like black theme in Desktop Outlook 2016
Multiple choice of colors and themes like black theme in Desktop Outlook 2016. Also provide an option of feature to reduce too much white space used in Microsoft Outlook. The new outlook is very complicated. Unfortunately I was forced to upgrade to outlook 2016 and Windows 10, otherwise I would have kept the old version of outlook. Microsoft need to consider people feedback and make material changes to outlook in order for users to be able to use it in the most efficient way. Right now, I am finding difficulties in using this outlook. Outlook should be more colorful like…

Provide a walk-through tutorial for visual set up of Outlook 2016
Visual layout of Outlook is very different from earlier versions. How about the tutorial showing how you can change the settings to the familiar (essential) or perhaps innovative views that are now available.
HUGE waste of time trying to find the appropriate controls.
If there is a way to use earlier folder categories show how to import them. If not suggest an easy way to set them up again.
I have still not discovered how to see the main Inbox pane so that there are many more items showing.
Presumably there is a way to have one line showing.

show the date that you are up on the scroll bar (i think that used to happen)
when scrolling up and down the in or out box etc it would be good to see the approx date that you are at as a little box appearing adjacent to the scroll bar, perhaps i've missed something, but i think this used to happen or maybe i'm thinking of excel as this has the row number appearing on the scowl bar. it would be good to see the dates like that in outlook

Quarantine email
Add select boxes to the Quarantine email, so a user can select multiple emails to "Release to Inbox" or "Report as Not Junk" at the same time and not one-by-one with a long delay as it launches and send you to a confirmation window in your browser over and over again for each email you want to take action on.

Provide a feature to make Working Offline Mode button appear in different color when hovered and when selected in Microsoft Outlook 2016
Provide a feature to make Working Offline Mode button appear in different color when hovered than when selected in Microsoft Outlook 2016. If possible, it would be more beneficial if it is replaced by a small check box in the corner that is checked or unchecked whether or not working offline mode is enabled or disabled.

Base font default template for Outlook 365 version 1708 build 8431.2079 dox matrix print
At some point went from a 'rich' look like this page to 1980's 'dot matrix' look and I hate it. The support person could not change the font default for email account/file folders and messages. The only font change is for Inbox display. This also extends into MS Word, MS Access and Edge pages. Reference case #1400374270 10/5/17.
Support indicated the 365 product design engineers are the ones that select the base, unchangeable fonts, and that is what we customers have to live with.
Most of what I see looks like a knock-off version that is poor quality.

Resolve the logon popup when opening an attachment
Since the last update the logon tab in outlook pops up requesting to sign in again when opening an attachment in an email although I am already logged on.
The document opens normally but the popup is annoying.
I experience this on both my laptops running on WIN10

"Low bandwidth" mode
Create a mode for situations where you have low bandwidth (in-flight and public Wi-Fi, for example) so the application doesn't become unresponsive by trying to sync shared calendars, index searches etc.

Password Dialog Box Stays On Top
Don't have the inbox/main page pop over the password dialog box on startup. Keep the dialog box on top so we can type in the password instead of having it buried.

Option to Customize the Office Applications themes independently.
It would be nice if we could customize the color scheme / look and feel of the office apps independently of each other. I like my word in dark theme but One Note and Outlook in their respective colors. Now you have to choose one look wholesale for the whole system which seems strange.
Also, please add a ‘Classic Office’ Theme to render all office products in their default themes from 2003/2007/2012.

Disabled COM Add-ins window resizeable
The "Disabled COM Add-ins" window is not resizeable in Outlook 2013, making some text truncated, and the user must use the horizontal scroll bar to see all the content. This is clumsy.

Please remember visited links so they are purple (or otherwise the Visited Link color) on future views of a message.
When I click a link in a message, by default it turns from blue to purple, but the next time I open that same message (or another message containing the same link) it's back to blue. Please persist the visited link status for at least a reasonable amount of time. (A year maybe? or perhaps 100k links? Text storage is cheap.)
