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.

Send button workflow has been updated based on your feedback: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/outlookformac/2017/04/12/insider-fast-release-notes-15-34-170411/
See last bullet point under feature fixes:
Touch Bar: send button is now a popover, helping to safeguard against accidental sends

combined with the fact that you can no longer make a delay send rule this is incredibly bad. Can we get at least one of these fixed.

... another vote for being able to remove send from the touch bar. It's a pain!

this is brutal. I either hit the send button or the paste button on like 50% of the emails. this needs to be configurable so I can remove them and keep the font features.

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
