Add a chat option in Outlook ( Like Whatsapp where we can share pictures ,images , PDF) and it will be super helpful . .

please put the category aspect back so you can color code the calendar

I would like a macro on my desktop that I could click and it would open my contacts for a quick name search. I had this years ago but MS changed outlook so it no longer worked.

Reduce size of message preview pane header in Outlook 2016
I shrink it back down to the size it was in Office 2010.
remove the "Reply, Reply All, Forward, IM" buttons at the top of the header?
Reduce the size of the font for the "From" field? (And hopefully the size of the spacing around it.)
Change the font color to black? The greyish faded color in 2016 is hard read.
It's just taking away useful space for the preview and replacing it with visual clutter.

Categories (and colors) do not work in Outlook 2016 with IMAP email settings

When using the black background in Outlook, unread mails show with black font for the email sender and title. This makes it difficult to read as it is against a very dark grey background. Suggest changing the text color to blue or white with the typical bold.

I find it astounding that OUTLOOK doesn't have this feature. When I open up a Contact, I should be able to view all my email correspondence with them without having to go back to the email folder and conduct a search

Remove "Outlook found new events" in Outlook 365 and "Outlook found a new event" in Outlook mail. It is a useless feature. It is forced into outlook Email and a waste of space. All events such as Amazon receipts/orders/shipping notices already indicate everything needed that is repeated again on the useless "Outlook found new events."

After a meeting, there should be an option to simply create a new date and time using the same information from the previou meeting (participants, room, information, etc.)

Allow user to set up "buffer time" within appointments and meetings. For example, I have an hour long, out-of-office meeting at 4pm and it takes 20 minutes to get there. I'd like to block my calendar from 3:40pm - 5:20pm, but show clearly that the meeting is from 4-5pm.

There used to be three options when you made a change to an Outlook meeting.

For years I've been able to save without sending an update when the only change is in the notes section of the meeting. I'd like this feature brought back, please.

Allow removal of suggested contacts after a contact becomes obsolete

I use Outlook, for both mail, calendar and contacts, often the category labels to bring order. However these are not searchable. It's a powerful feature especially if you use it when searching. It would be nice if there is a box where you can search the category * * * * quickly by typing a few letters, especially if you use many categories.

When using IMAP, SMTP, and POP3 based servers, email/mailbox and login username can be two different values.

These two values are usually harmonised in order to make configuration easier and to standardise user names but there is nothing stopping a login from having a primary mailbox ID which is different to that login name.

In short, "login user name!==from email address". There needs to be an easily accessible option to independently set both of these values at time of account creation, as there was in all previous versions of Outlook.

It would be really nice if private meetings dissapeard when I'm sharing my screen on another display. Or even better, if the meetings didn't disappear but the subject and other information was visually changed to "Private".

Undo a Quick Steps operation. Accidental clicks happen all the time, and the lack of undo feature makes Quick Steps unusable.

Calendar category colors used to print, why no longer?

In the mail search box you can search by people, content, attachments, etc, but you can not search for emails that contain links. Please allow ability to search emails for links.
