Outlook email changing language in email text.
Outlook email - how to change language in email text?
How do I stop my email text from automatically changing to capital letters in the middle of a sentence?
For example: " It´s a Beautiful day today."I many times write emails in English, but I have Swedish as a main language.

New user interface for email - DREADFUL
So I have logged into my email account to find it in a horrendous layout and new font style with a high number of distractions and not to mention ads that pop up between the mail I have received. NOTHING was wrong with the old layout, while features such as focused inbox were still available. If this mess is not sorted out and reverted I will switch my primary personal email address to another service provider! Whoever thought of this needs to seriously reconsider their choices.

Don't make "focused" pre-sorting the default
I don't like automatic sorting into focused and other. I want default to just be all my mail, that could be a feature to opt in if people want it, but not sorted like that by default.
6 votesThank you for using Outlook.com, and for providing all of this great feedback. Based on your feedback, I think we have an option that will make you happy. We actually do allow you to disable focused other, if you rather not view your mail in that way.
Follow these steps, and you will get your mail in one view
1) Click on the Gear in the top right
2) This opens the Quick Settings pane. From here you can turn off focused other.Hope this helps!

Please allow social media icons pasted into email signatures to be hyperlinked to the user's corresponding social media accounts
Please allow social media icons pasted into email signatures to be hyperlinked to the user's corresponding social media accounts.
It is almost mandatory now and looks unprofessional having straggly complicated links clogging up signatures, as opposed to simple icons. It is easily possible on Gmail, and just about every other email client - please consider!
7 votesJust wanted to provide everyone a quick update. I am happy to say that you should now be able to go manage your signature (from settings) and add an image in the new Outlook.com experience.
Thanks for providing the feedback. We truly value it!
