Is there anyone else who feels that the auto-complete is an annoyance and distraction when composing a message
I believe that the auto-correct program should have an option to eliminate the auto-complete program and remove all of it's distraction to actually completing a message. Is there anyone else who feels the same way?

[Suggestion]:Verifying Account
Verifying an outlook account is impossible with the the mouse and cheese thing. Why are MS using the alternative email address I entered in the first instance. I am unable to use the phone option as out of signal range.

Automatically flag an email as phishing in junk folder
There should be a feature to automatically flag an email as phishing in the Junk folder by showing a red exclamation point and a warning message saying this is a suspicious email will steal your personal information similar to the feature in Gmail's Spam folder.

What happened to blocking domains automatically
There was a great feature that let you choose to block the entire domain when you chose to block an email. This was great because I used to have to go through the blocked senders list one by one adding the bad domains. I thought it should have been expanded so that if you chose to block a domain, it automatically deleted all emails from that domain that was in your mailbox.
Instead of expanding the functionality, it looks like it has been removed. Bring back the option to flag email as Junk, block it, choose to block the domain,…

[Dislike]:KEEP PHONE CALL VERIFICATION OPTION FOR MICROSOFT ACCOUNTS
I regard to: "Say goodbye to phone call verification, hello to new options" ("Update your Microsoft account verification options to sign in smoothly"):
PLEASE DO NOT GET RID OF PHONE-CALL VERIFICATION!! I am UNCOMFORTABLE in having to settle for the other options that you offer!

Autocorrect
Please introduce option to turn the autocorrect on and off. I find it an insult to my intelligence. I can type well; I can spell, and my grammar is good. It is hugely intrusive and irritating.

Recover deleted outlook.com aliases
Users should have a period of time - a week would be enough for many people - to undelete aliases that were deleted from accounts (often by kids on xbox.) When an account is closed, users have 60 days to change their mind - they should have a similar option when aliases are deleted.
For an example of the problem this will solve, see this thread, https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/my-hotmail-account-was-deleted-while-my-son-was/2250b864-3712-4813-b736-e896e8146c25

Allow "Like"ing emails
Many emails that land in my inbox do not require me to respond. However, the sender may still want to know how well the content of his email is received by me and other recipients.
The visibility on no. of likes on an email can be kept private to the sender in the MVP. The recipients need only to see a "Like" icon toggle with two states - "Liked already" and "Yet to be liked".16 votes -

Bring back the previous method of spellcheck. I hate that dropdown box with every other unneeded choices.
Just bring back the previous method of spellcheck. I spell a word incorrectly, I right click over it, spelling choices drop down. I click on the correct spelling and the word is corrected. That function seems to no longer be available!
