BUG: Outlook autoformatting text with heading styles
For the last few Insider Fast updates I've faced an annoying bug.
If I don't end a paragraph with a full-stop or comma before hitting return (twice) Outlook autoformats the paragraph with a heading style.My default font is set to Georgia 11pt.
If I start an email 'Dear Tim' then press enter twice it autoformats 'Dear Tim as Calibri Light 16pt in blue.

Remove the Unsubscribe button at the top for all subscription based emails
There is an annoying feature that appears for some emails- an "Unsubscribe" button that appears below the sender-subject-retention policy header. I'd like the option to turn this off or remove it.

Import/Export folders and subfolders
I really need to export/import folders and subfolders. This enables me to prune folders by archiving them--and then restoring archived folder if I need them. Have had this capability in outlook in previous version, but not now. This seems to be a regression bug.

Quote character instead of indentation
Indentation is not enough for quoting email text. Not having a clear character as ”>“ (as plain text standard) or “|” (as apple mail) holds me from using Outlook on my Mac. Although it is a really goog email client.
Come on, please!6 votes -

Reviewing all contacts that have been assigned to specific categories
Outlook removed the ability to select a Category in Contacts and review the individual contacts within that category on my Mac. This is an important function when beginning a mail merge. Maintaining the accuracy of the contents of a category is essential.

I need the capability of saving a specific OUTLOOK email folder to a specific folder in my DOCUMENTS.
For legal purposes I need to save all emails pertaining to specific real estate transactions their respective FOLDERs in Documents on my MAC. I then download them to a thumb drive and save them for 7 years, as required. About 3 years ago that capability disappeared and I've been stuck ever since.

Don't change the size of text when I mouse over it
There is a very distracting animation when I mouse over certain parts of the ribbon, like the "HOME", "ORGANIZE" and "TOOLS" menus. Animating text is somewhat disruptive and doesn't help the UI experience
