Color Code Events in Calendar
Like in Google Calendar, you can color-code all of your events. Why not do it for Outlook as well? This would be a nice feature to have.

Out of Office
The option for Out of Office for multiple dates should be available/ to set up an automatic Out of Office message if calendar dates are booked as Holiday. Most people have to book holiday early in the year and therefore already know their holiday dates. They do not, however, always remember to set Out of Office before they go.

Clear Suggested Contacts because some of them are DEAD!
When creating an email, typing an address in the "To" field brings up recent contacts and suggestions. The suggestions cannot be deleted, yet this is my personal info. These suggestions come from recent emails, but also from emails I sent 5-10 years ago. Literally, some of these contacts died a few years ago, but you still show them as "Suggested". Holy ****, this is my personal info, yet you won't let me delete it. This info is store in your cloud somewhere, which tells me you care nothing about people's privacy. I cannot clear "Suggested". Yet some of these people…

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.

Better Meeting Update Options Before Hitting Send Update
Ocassionally the meeting update prompt to send to only those impacted (recipients being removed or added) does not show up or prompt. This results in all attendees getting email blasts with updates to the meeting. I'd like to see better options to select who to send the update to before hitting the Send Update button and committing to whatever behavior Outlook takes.
Note: The prior changes in this area were documented here for reference, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/outlook-unexpectedly-stops-prompting-and-automatically-sends-meeting-updates-to-all-attendees-18506249-a20a-40c1-941d-95d9206b93ec.

Can you please enable to view timezones of different individuals in scheduling assistant as well?
I am unable to schedule meeting and check their calendar availability with respective to participants time zone.
For instance, I have to schedule an appointment with other country. I can add timezones in my calendar but I can't see what is their time in scheduling assistant. It shows only my timezone details.

Schedule meetings in under 30 min increments (like 5, 10, 15...)
Scheduling meetings outside of 30-minute increments is a pain. I would like the option to schedule meetings in 5-minute increments. Example. A drop down list of 5, 10, 15. 20, 25, 35... Then the meeting scheduling process would be to first add people, then pick the needed time and then move to figuring out when this time would fit in the group's schedule. Manually entering the time is not a smooth process and the defaults fight against manual entry.
The primary driver for this is to save time as life does not land in 30 minute increments.. Now that we…30 votes -
Option to leave a reoccurring meeting, without deleting the meeting from my calendar.
The option to leave a reoccurring meeting, without deleting the meeting from my calendar is one I would find very beneficial. I have found many times, that I'm take part in a reoccurring meeting for a period of time, then leave before the main team is done with that reoccurring meeting, which continues on. The only way I've found to clear my future calendar is to decline the meeting, which deletes ALL occurrence of the meeting, not just future meeting dates. I'd like the ability to leave a meeting, and have all the past meetings remain on my calendar for…

Follow-up meeting button
Create an option for quickly generating follow-up meetings that let a facilitator schedule a new meeting in the future with the same information as the old meeting. It could prompt for a location, time, and date update while retaining the previous meeting's content like an email thread.
Thanks for considering!140 votes -
emoji response to email
Enable emoji response to email, just like we can in Teams - many emails could be simply and quickly responded to with the 6 emojis available for Teams responses. It would be great if we could just give a thumbs up or a smiley face as a quick response to the sender.

Why did the Instant Search Bar dissapeared?
Since the last update I can't find how to view the Instant Search again.
Before it was on top of the folder email's list but now it's not, and I can't find a way to reactivate it.

Show time of day bar in calendar on today's date
With the latest calendar updates (late May / early June), the calendar now looks like the Teams calendar. There is a time bar with a dot, but they show up on the previous day. this should visually show up on today's date.

At least a second dot for current time
In the calendar, I like the line going to the time and the large dot, but I keep looking at the previous day's meeting. Better would be a second large dot so that the current time/meeting is framed (maybe with an alpha blended line between them)

Wrap long subjects in the reading Pane
Wrap long subjects in the reading Pane
The subject shown in the reading pane is shown only on one line, when it is longer, the last part of the subject is lost and one must open the email to see the full subject.
The Subject should should wrap to the next line to allow full view of the subject in the reading pane.
