How do I do an advanced search in the beta? Specifically, how do I search by date?

the ads cause the email to shrink and makes it very hard to see the email. could you please remove the ads on the right side. Thanks

Do not need colour circles. Just simple email! Should have the choice.

There's a wrong translation for french in the spam folder. I guess english label to empty this folder is "Empty folder", which has been translated to "Dossier vide" (means "Folder IS empty").
Correct translation is : "Vider le dossier"

Miss being able to add alerts. ie a week two days and two hours, as with the old version.

I want Hotmail back the way it was. I do not like the change. Some of my folders have been deleted.

Without opening any questionable messages, the "Block" feature previously available in the "Junk email" folder was good in that it displayed the email address ID for the selected message(s) before giving the option to confirm the "Block" request. This helpful option does no appear to be available any longer.

Older version allows you to select multiple items, even all items, in Junk and report them as phishing scams. This beta does not and that is a big fail for me.

Safe Senders all deleted and cannot save new ones!!

'Message can't be displayed at the moment'
Please check your internet connection or try again later.
My speed 50 to 80 mbs, ping 10 upload speed 12.5mbs
Yet unable to open emails but can on other sites and other areas of the internet, WOT WOS run fine?
Could not solve problem.

I want to double click my message to see the full message rather than the squashed preview, it's missing some information unless I scroll the preview pane.

Why the german version called empty the trash or Delete folder "Leerer Ordner" just Empty Folder?

Although you can select ALL using the checkbox icon at the top of the email list, you can't UNSELECT (or DESELECT) individual emails. I tried clicking individual email checkboxes (results in all emails unselected) and I tried ctrl+clicking the email (same result). This is a major fail.

cannot read older emails I have saved fro a few years ago. Cannot write in Japanese as the characters won't go through to the recipient.

The "?"/help function is not functioning at all. If you put in a word to search nothing happens. Now there is no way (or you buried it so people wont bother you) to email or call for help? Are you just trying to make people leave?!

Update

I liked the previous feature of having categories with different colors in the calendar. Having colors makes it easier for me to know what should be done, compared to charms. eg have a red category for deadlines and a green for completed. that way i briefly scan my calendar page and i know all the information i need.

Still don't like the "focused/other" distinction, especially since a lot of important stuff ends up in "other". There's already the junk folder to get rid of useless e-mails, I don't need another filter, especially one that decides for me what's important and what's not.

The ads on the right are a nuisance. It is too cramped and complicated is right! And very difficult to find the thread of my email messages. Also attachments are hard to find. In short a true disaster. Take me back to the old outlook please. Help!

There were 2 old messages. What more do you need. You removed them.
