Remove Send button from Touch Bar
MS has started to integrate the touch bar into the Office suite- which is awesome. I’ve seen some improvements to my workflow. However, the last update has added a “send” button to Outlook. In the last two days, I have accidently sent several messages while still composing. MS needs to allow configuration of the touch bar, or move/remove the send button ASAP.

We should stop paying for the entire office suite if they don't listen us. It's incredible...

The touchbar send button even with the pop-over gets hit too frequently by accident. It needs to be disable-able via config option.

Please remove send button from touch bar on Mac - it's a nightmare and results in emails being accidentally sent.

I had to disable the touch bar for Outlook in order to stop accidental email sends. Outlook team: please fix this. Else your touch bar efforts are for nothing as your users look to disable the touch bar for Outlook. I followed this recipe to do this: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/283565/customise-touch-bar-for-a-specific-application

Why not make touchbar functionality completely configurable? Sending mail prematurely has brought me in trouble several times already. So importance is high!

This is such a small feature yet so powerful that it has the potential to destroy careers :) PLEASE either allow for re-configuration or complete removal of this!

3 weeks old mac-book, now 4 "early" send mistakes. Very frustrating. Took me a bit to figure out what you mean with "popover" - but it is basically not a fix. The "early" send happens because I, and likely others, are using the littlefinger or the finger next to it, to hit upper left corner of the keyboard, the "longer" fingers then very easily touch the send button area 2 times. So, either move "confirmation" of send 5 cm to the right or find a different fix. The current fix is useless.

This is ridiculous. Two years and zero progress:
The send button is still in the same place – and not configurable at all. -

Like the other users I would like to have the opportunity to configure the Touch Bar for Outlook and the other Office products!

Please enable configuring the touch bar! It is great that it is supported, though the send button is really dangerous!

I was shocked to experience this a year after others are complaining. My company (which I own) uses Macs but if Apple don't get their act together we will start migrating. Seems they want to focus on phones and other gimmicks rather than what they WERE famous for

what's wrong with the Outlook team. Either remove the Send button or let us customize it. this is super annoying!!!

I'd add that touchbar send enabled combined with no Mac Outlook "Unsend" feature is incredibly unfriendly. It's the worst of both worlds.
Here, let me irrevocably send an email you didn't want to without asking...
It's just waiting to leak PII or other unintentionally pasted data in an email being composed.

SUPER annoying!! I'm sending half-completed emails to executives because of this.
