Put the "Today" and "Yesterday" sections back
You need to put "Today" and "Yesterday" and "This month" back to where we can see it in the emails. Why did you change it? I scroll right past it because it looks like an email. Just put it back the way it was. This makes NO deliniation between yesterdays emails and today's.
0 votesHi there. If you select Setting and then Search for Date Headers, you can turn this back on.
Hope this helps

Folders disappearing
The folders list has evidently been 'enlarged' to the point that 'conversation history', personal folders like 'temp' and the 'new folder' tab all at the bottom of the folders list are now non-viewable...can you IT people not come up with a better solution to whatever it is that you're trying to do?
0 votesThank you for the feedback. I just wanted to let you know that there are different density settings that you can adjust. If you click on the gear in the top right and then select density settings. It will adjust the amount of spacing between each folder.
thanks

New 2FA Option
please consider using the projecthydro.org 2FA protocol RAINDROP instead of google as google has abandoned their 2FA and it is not as user friendly, hydro's is more secure, is currently supported and uses new technology. Please at least give us the option to keep our accounts this safe.
0 votesHi there, we do support 2FA and Microsoft has their own authenticator app. Please check out this article for more details

What can I do to keep wanted email from being blocked
Outlook continues to filter legitimate mail into the "junk" folder along with the junk mail. This alone is not a serious problem, but Outlook regularly blocks some email from getting through that I want -- such as subscriptions to Mauldin Economics and Barnes & Noble that are in my address book. What can I do to keep wanted email from being blocked?

For tech support
Hi,
Please could you forward this to technical support and ask them to contact me via email or is that possible? I updated security info to make my account more secure because of my personal information and identity use. How do you protect personal information at outlook.com? Is updating security info and changing password ok or do I need to do more things to protect my account? Could you please take good care of my personal information, my identity and content at my outlook.com. Thank you. This is not a public or forum topic this is private message for Microsoft…
