I want one inbox - I didn't ask for two. The other and focused options are so screwed up and annoying; I cannot even imagine why this was done. Most of the time I am getting focused emails in my other and other emails in my focused. How do your algorithms even sort or decide which is which? And why are you deciding? It is my inbox!

the screen is separated into 4 columns: folder list, email subject list, email content and ads. I do not mind ads but it takes a huge potion of screen if 4 columns!
I can't read the email content in such a small column area!
No one write an email that expected people read in column!

Can't find things, not enough room to see entire message without having to scroll or close other menus/options.

The look and feel is just terrible. There is way too much going on. I would like to keep it simple just like with the current UI. If this beta doesnt change and goes to production I am definitely switching over to gmail

When making a calendar event in the current Outlook.com there is a section to add notes. This is missing in the Beta Calendar. Notes are visible in the Beta from entries made in the current Outlook.com Calendar but you are unable to edit them. I use the notes section to remind me of details about calendar events. The loss of this option would force me to use a different Calendar app/service.

Stop trying to "Improve" something that is not broken! This is terrible. Keep it simple! That was what was so great about the original Hotmail to begin with! This is not a social media service this is and has been my primary email for a very long time. Do what you do best with this service - E-MAIL. Don't try to make this into something it is not. This beta is too cluttered and unreadable on smaller laptops and even on larger ones is still difficult to use. I turned it off after trying to read one email

There is no way to add someone to a meeting in the edit menu. Seriously?!?

Email isn't for emojis & bright colors. Keep it clean and simple. There's too much noise everywhere else in the world.

I use my personal email to communicate with friends and family. I don't need to be entertained and over stimulated by gimmicks. I just want to send a message and easily find the ones I've received.

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.

This new layout is really unclear.
You cant tell the difference of a button or an image.
The old layout was nice because there was a better summary of folders, and a better sight on how to forward or respond to emails. Just arrows to "respond or forward" is not clear.

Please go back to the old layout!!!

Adverts in the list of emails? A terrible idea - so bad I would actually change email provider to get away from it. If you want me to take my email seriously do not put adverts in what looks like a new mail spot so I click on it by mistake.

I like to hover over junkmail emails to see the email address to see if it is spam or legit - I cant do that on the new version.

It's difficult to see whether its a real email chain or not, I don't know if I reply will the previous email be attached?

Some things on the interface seem to be changed for the sake of it, why not just make the entire interface customisible to what the user wants and let them choose the best of what they see, rather than changing the whole thing and lumping it on us?

Cuts off right aspect of email text. Please fix to include all text in same pane without having to arrow to right.

Hate the page set up. Like the other way better

it would be great if you could pop out the email; the real estate is such it makes it difficult to quickly scroll thru and read email

We would like to search the calendar for events like we can for emails

Too complicated, ad area on the right too huge, interrupts the reading, ad area not suitable on right for this format.
