Search by year / find old mails / number of pages
Hi
With the new version, I cannot find old mails sent 2-3 weeks ago. There are no numbering pages, I have to scroll and scroll...it's boring.
If I could go to the next pages and so one, it would be faster. With Gmail, we can change the page.Also, I would for example see my mail sent in 2016 but it's impossible. The only way is to scroll until 2016...but I have thousand of mails!
With Gmail, I can search a range "after:2016/1/1 before:2016/6/1"
With Outlook, I must know the exact date DD/MM/YYYY. I can't search by year und between…10 votes -
Show total number of items in folder (like in desktop Outlook)
In Outlook 2010 and later, users can choose to display the total number of items in each folder (rather than the number of unread items). Please add this feature.

Enhance the UserVoice Feedback Search and Results
Feedback on the UserVoice Feedback page itself...
1. There should be a way to provide feedback about UserVoice itself directly from a client's UserVoice site (such as outlook.uservoice.com).
2. The search does not appear to support exact matches by enclosing text in quotes. Please add this so users can limit results.
3. The search/results do not appear to support filtering by date range. Please add this so users can do more specific searches (excluding results from older versions, etc.).
4. The search/results do not appear to support filtering by status (Completed or not). Please add this. (Also, why is the…4 votes -
Automatic Expanding Folders
When moving an e-mail to a folder that has been expanded, passing over other (collapsed) folders makes them expand automatically immediately. This can move the desired destination folder off the page - most annoying. Folders should only expand after the mouse has hovered over for a certain period of time.

I verify my hours by searching a month's worth of emails for each client. Not able to do this in the new version.
Need to have a selective dates search for incoming and outgoing email from one sender. Businesses need a functional mail system. Beyond frustrated and feeling betrayed. If it's not corrected after this month's invoices are sent out, I'll be moving the business side of my emails over to my Gmail account. On a side note, who thought it would be a good idea to roll out a system without full functionality and let people "vote" on what they want added. At least start with what you originally offered and ask people to vote to expand upon the basics.

Attachments cannot be downloded in Beta version.
I was not able to download attachments from my mails. So I switched to the older version and I was able to do so in a sec. I tried downloading to the computer and saving to the oneDrive etc. From the mail itself, the drop down to download, preview etc was not also working.

Please reintroduce numbering of mail pages for each folder and show the total number of mails for each folders.
Previously all folders had a numbered page system with about 30 mails on each page, thereby making it easy to flip back and forth through the mail pages.
This page numbering was really a great help, also when deleting mails from folders.
Futher - the total number of mails was shown, not just the unread ones.Please reintroduce numbering of mail pages for each folders and show the total number of mails in each folder, i.e. total *** mails in INBOX including yyy unread mails
Thanks - that would be a great help!10 votes -

Please hide deleted messages
When you switch from "focused" to "others", all messages that you painstakingly deleted... are still visible. this is just horrifying.
If I delete messages, I want to get rid of them. I do not want them to pollute me, even in some kind of a "all messages" view.
the "deleted folder" is there if I want to recover something. the "all messages" view should show only clean and usefull messages. Not all the deleted ****.

Select All and Archive
Aside from having an option for Archive when selecting all mails, please have "Move to Archive" feature when doing search as well. It will help also when searching for expression or items and then Archive.

Attaching files from OneDrive
Logged in today (Oct 1st, 2018) and it said Outlook.com has been updated. The previous version remembers the folder in which I attached a file in previous email. Now each time I need to attach files in a new email, I have to navigate to the same folder again to find them. In the same email, it remembers, but not when I compose new emails.
You may ask, why not use the search feature? Well, if I need to attached multiple files from the same folder, the search-and-attach method is inefficient.
Secondly, when I search in OneDrive to find a…
