Thank you for your feedback.

We are investigating different ways to make accessing older emails easier for our users. We will report back when we have an update to this. Thank you for your patience!

Thank you for your feedback. We are currently working to bring display density settings to Outlook and will report back on this ticket once completed. Thanks for your patience!

First off, I want to thank everyone for providing feedback about spacing/whitespace/density controls. This is indeed something that we are evaluating and designing. At this time I don’t have an exact time frame for when this will be available, but we will keep this item updated as we progress with this work.

Thanks again for the feedback, and for using Outlook.com. Keep the great feedback coming.

Thanks for trying the Outlook.com beta! We’re glad to inform that you can turn the Reading Pane off yourself by taking these steps:

1. Go to Settings (you should see the Quick Settings in the side pane)
2. Reading pane > Hide (it’s a radio button)

If this is the mode you prefer, go right ahead and personalize your Outlook.com that way!

We’ve identified a bug in IE browsers related to drag & drop emails into folders and have a fix coming soon. We will update this post when a fix is ready.

Thank you for raising this issue to us and your patience as we resolve it.

Thanks for using Outlook.com!

To block a user from the junk email folder, either:
- Select one or more emails and click the “Not Junk” dropdown in the top menu bar → “Block”
- Right-click on an email and select “Block”.

Note: In non-junk folders, the option to block a user is under the “Junk” dropdown in the top menu bar

We’ve since made more progress with our investigation and have a hunch for what the issue is. It seems that it is a lot easier to run into the problem using Firefox than using a different browser, although the problem could affect any browser.

====

We’ve heard multiple reports of this bad behavior on Firefox and are investigating. We’ve not heard any similar reports on other browsers, so that might be a possible alternative for now, while we work on resolving the real issue.

Apologies.

Thank you for your feedback.
