schedule sending email
Hi,
I'm surprise that this feature is not yet in Outlook. I would like the possibility to delay sending email to a specific time.
Thank you
484 votesI’d like to give everyone a somewhat complete update on this feature request.
The feature “Undo Send” has been available on Outlook.com for a while now. With it, you can set a small delay of up to 10 seconds when sending all your email messages.
Additionally, we plan to make available a bigger feature that is along the lines of “Schedule Send”. At the moment, I cannot provide a time estimate for when it will show up for you. However, we’re very excited and hopeful :)

Quick Steps or Quick Actions
On outlook 2016 I have set up a quick action where I can create a calendar or task directly from an email, copying all the content of the email to the event/task details. Could this be implemented onto the site ?

Keep Sorting when navigating between folders
When coming back to Inbox from another folder, the e-mails are no longer sorted by Sender, and revert back to default sorting by date. I want Outlook.com to remember how I want my messages sorted in each folder.

Block Sender
You marked "completed" the "Block Sender" item that had over 1100 votes and many more comments. The solution you gave does not work when the email is already in the "Junk" email folder. Right clicking on items in the "Junk" folder opens the email. It does bring up the "Block" function, but still opens the email. Again, your solution addresses emails that are not already in the "Junk" folder. Please reopen this issue and give us a way to block emails without having to open them if they are already in the Junk folder based on your spam criteria. This…

dark mode issues
The overall issue is darkmode is very hard to work with as a developer, until recently we could override certain things that were breaking but the recent update adds !important to the inlined styles so we can no longer fix the bugs it causes.
A few of the bugs that we’re facing include...
Light colours are adjusted but dark are not, leading to a lack of visual structure where contrast is being used.
When dark text is applied to a light background image the text is made light but the background stays the same making it very hard to read …59 votesWe’re working through these bugs, thanks for the feedback! We’ll have an update in the next couple months.

Change it back so that email replies originate with the email address the email was received to.
I have two accounts that I use from my main hotmail account. Whenever I reply to emails received to my secondary account, I have to change the "From" email address back to my secondary email EVERY TIME, when it used to automatically use the address that the email was originally sent to. It's very annoying, and wastes a lot of my time, and is confusing for my clients when they are getting emails from my main personal account, instead of my work secondary account.

Please don't change the layout! I'm an older user and do not like having to look all over for icons that you move around.
Leave the icons alone. Don't move them or change how they look.

html signature
Easily add a html signature in outlook.com and mobile outlook app so signature looks the same regardless of the device i'm using to send e-mail. Currently, I can only add a HTML e-mail in outlook desktop app.

Flagged & Pinned Icons More Noticeable
Is it possible to make the Flag and Pin Icons more visible with some more color similar to the previous version?
Currently the icons are just an outline, however the previous version showed the icons filled with a color, for example, of red, making it more visible.
Thank you.
