Recover Deleted Email Alias
My daughter accidentally deleted my email alias which was a *******@hotmail.com (an email address I've had since before the world wide web). Now I'm told that I can't recover that alias even though it's the main email address for the account because it's a reserved domain. I should be able to recover that email alias since it's already tied to the account. Everything I have is tied to that email alias.

Please re-add the "Protect" option in Outlook.com Beta version. It was in the Classic version.
This option from the Outlook.com classic version is helpful if I don't want my emails to be forwarded to another user or another email account. Please bring it back and have that feature added also in the Beta version.
6 votesHi there, thank you for providing feedback and for using Outlook.com. I just wanted to let you know that we still have the same options to Protect your email as before.
However, now it is called encrypt. You should see this button on your compose screen. If you click on it, you will see there is encrypt and do not forward.
Hope that helps

beta
In full agreement with everyone else comments on "beta" why change something that was working perfectly well for this appalling designed application, I am all in favour of improving but this is one step to far.
Creating a new e-mail where but it is only partially visible and you need to keep scrolling up and down to see the full content, its a new email so why not open a new view as per the old system you can then scroll through current email without leaving the new one.

Outlook 365 vs Outlook.com
I don't want this 'Other' filter. It's causing emails not to show up in Outlook 365 and I have to come in here to see them. Outlook 365 has no 'Other' and Outlook.com shouldn't automatically dictate the way Outlook 365 sees emails! I'm paying for that product, not Outlook.com.

My email shows different first and last name to the new users
My name in the Outlook / Hotmail directory is coming with a weird name which I never set anywhere on outlook. My First and Last name doesn't appear anywhere to a new sender. And this is embarrassing. How do I reset it back to my First and Last Name ?

Full flag/date integration
Allow flags to have a date setting, today/ tomorrow/ next week as a specific date, then combine those into a task schedule for the day. Allow QUICK assigning of time frames for each task.
I should be able to flag an email and then create a task for it.
1. John Doe emails me a set of drawing revisions.
2. I flag his email and create a task to revise the drawings, estimating it will take me 3 hours, starting at 09:00
3. Said task shows up in the Calendar as well as my daily agenda77 votesThank you for your feedback and patience on this topic. We’ve now added full flag/date integration in OWA!
