All Mail and Unread Mail
Please keep the All Mail and Unread Mail buttons next to the Focused and Other buttons. Filtering the option from the drop-down list is little cumbersome when one does it often. Rest of the options like All Mentioned Mail and so on can be in filter. There is a good amount of space after the Focused and Other buttons. The earlier option of having All Mail and Unread button was very helpful.

I'm now totally confused by Outlook! I used to have one tab in my Inbox (for all emails, read or unread). When I opened an email it would automatically grey out to show I'd read it. Now my messages are separated into All and Unread and it's completely confusing!! Also, now my messages are separating into separate conversations, which is even more confusing, as messages in my Inbox for the same conversation are now disappearing and I don't know how to get them back. I wish I knew how to change my Inbox back to the old way of just having all new emails in my Inbox under the one tab.

I agree that an 'All' view is needed. At present, to be sure nothing important is missed, it is essential to look at both 'Focused' and 'Other' inboxes, which wastes time, especially as the latter is (by design) primarily low priority and junk mail. It would be much more productive to be able to view priority messages ('Focused') when in a hurry and all messages (*not* Other) when trying to catch up.

I would appreciate if you brought back the unread button for the active inbox only. If I want to look in archive or subfolders I can do that separately but there is no way to show me only unread mails in my currently open inbox folder. it was there for a while and then disappeared with another update. Also, please give an option to choose the updates you really need

A button that would show all mail regardless of if it is in the inbox, sent file, any folders, etc. Other platforms have a view all mail button near the inbox, sent and deleted views.

Yes please! I used that feature constantly. Why must we choose between having Focused Inbox and these options? It doesn't make sense to me.

The new version 16.0.9126.2259 32 bit removed features I use every day. You removed the All Mail and Unread filter buttons at the top of the e-mail list from every folder except the Inbox. All my e-mail is sorted automatically with rule to subfolders and it makes it is having detrimental effect on my productivity on reviewing my 300+ daily e-mails. This is productivity software and before removing productivity tools such as this, you should leave it in the program as an option. STOP HIDING PRODUCTIVITY FEATURES IN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THINGS LOOK PRETTY...this is productivity software!!!

The latest update your developers have hidden the All Mail, Unread filter buttons yet again. It appears on the Inbox but we use a lot of folders. None of the other folders indicate these buttons including sent and junk folders.
***THIS NEEDS TO BE RETURNED ASAP. THIS IS A FEATURE I USE EVERY DAY***

The "Search", "All/Unread" and "Sort" options (which appear above the mail items when viewing a mail folder) should all be on one line, like it used to be.
There is so much wasted white blank space with the current layout, it is ridiculous.
See for example: https://superuser.com/questions/1292953/new-outlook-2016-update-gives-unnecessary-white-space-above-inbox/1319429#1319429

Please bring back the Unread button. Having to click the filter slows productivity

Have a button for "All Mail" that would provide access to all content in all folders

I agree with this. the new drop list and the sub drop list makes it difficult and confusing. Most people after filtering the emails from sender forget to undo it and dont realize it. bring back the old way where the unread mails and the filter option are separate and out in he open and not under some drop list.

Why do you tease me for a few days then take this away? the All Mail and Unread Mail buttons are great, you can keep the dropdown for more specific things just give us back our buttons, please.
thank you.

Unread link at the top of email list has appeared last week and in the latest update it has gone again. Please make your mind.

The All/Unread links right above the list of emails in the Inbox is simply HUGE and leaves a lot of white space (besides being useless for me). Please make it so that we can hide these buttons/links, making more room for 'real' content, that is, the emails!
