Blue boxes with reply suggestions
what are the blue boxes with reply suggestions at the bottom of the e mails I receive? I do not need suggestions as to what to reply !
1 voteThanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. The little blue boxes are indeed suggested replies.
If you do not like that particular feature, you can disable them by going into the Settings. Click on the gear in the top right. This opens up the quick settings pane. If you search for suggested replies it will take you right to the setting.
Hope that helps

UNABLE to COLLAPSE any of the THREE COLLUMNS OF BETA in order to get more space for composing my mail.
If only I could easily locate the Button for Closing/ minimizing any of the three main layout columns of beta, I would not mind any advertisement getting in the way because I would easily locate and minimize any column to get the much needed space.
2 votesThank you for using outlook.com. I totally understand that you would like to disable turn off some of the columns.
This option is already there. If you would like you can do it by the following:
1) Click on the Gear on the top right hand corner.
2) In the pane that opens look for Reading Pane
3) From here you can either turn it off, or select to locate it on the bottom.Once you select one of the option you will see that the screen is updated.
Also, if you would like to hide the folder list, you can do that right from the main surface. Click on the three lines that is next to New Message. That will collapse the folder list.
Hope this helps!

Full Inbox Please!
I want to see my full inbox in chronological order, I don't want outlook to automatically try to filter it
222 votesFirst off, I would like to personally thank you all for using outlook.com and for providing all of the great feedback.
I wanted to just drop you a note about the request for being able to see the inbox in a single view, not in the focused other view. We actually do support that right now.
To disable Focused Other follow these simple steps
1) Login to your outlook.com mailbox
2) In the top right there is a Gear icon, This is settings click it.
3) This opens up the quick settings view. From here you can disabled Focused Inbox.Once you have it disabled you will go back to the old view where everything is in a single Inbox view.
Hope this helps
