Messages constantly flashing
As much as I tried to like the new Outlook.com beta, it just isn't quite ready for prime time. The constant flashing (reloading?) of any email message I try to read is incredibly annoying. As a result I have turned off the beta.
I want to be able to click on a message and just be able to read it on the right, which is what I am accustomed to - without all of the constant flashing of the message.

When I open Outlook on an Apple computer, it works fine, no flashing, no blank screens, the buttons work, the speed is normal, Why can't I get the same performance on a non Apple computer?

It is hard to read or find your Emails. Platform very unstable keeps flashing ON & OFF very annoying.

I am increasingly more frustrated with the IP tab email version. There is ridiculous lag and flashing and inefficiency and lack of stability. I purchased the 2016 stand-alone version, but I wouldn't even consider the 365 version. I tried it for a year, and ultimately it doesn't compare. I am sorry. I like Win products, and I will continue to prefer them. I am sure you'll get it right eventually. I am not sure I can wait!

Outlook is next to impossible to use, the emails don't want to open, the screen flashes, there are scripts indicating that Outlook is trying to connect to every function on the internet. It is impossible to read the attachments.

Unusable - continually blinks on and off - bring back the option of the classic version!!

The new hotmail functionality is significantly reduced. In other words, it sucks! I never had a problem with the original version 20 years ago, but the upgrades have made the inbox and other boxes jumpy and they flash repeatedly and when you try to scroll it doesn't work. This is true on multiple different PCs and different PC types.

my screen is constantly refreshing and it takes forever to open emails. This is an awful change youve made. I hate it.

It takes several minutes to check my email throughout the day because the screen is constantly flashing. Even trying to scroll down to see older emails is a huge inconvenience because it never scrolls down. The screen is constantly flashing and staying at the top. PLEASE go back to the old layout. It was much better and I did not have any issues with it.

This new version really sucks, I get page flicker, half the page disappears, it's clunky, slow and the changes are frankly pointless! Great work!

Ever since the new outlook was forced on me a couple of days ago, my email flashes off and on, refuses to scroll down to current emails and when it finally does get to the current emails it flashes back to my old pinned emails at the top of the page. I am not happy. Just changing options so that it "looks" like my old email will not fix the flashing in and out (going from my email page to a blank white page and back again). I had hoped that this would clear up after a few days but that has not been the case. Your attention to this would be greatly appreciated!

I have exactly the same issues. Ever since you cannot switch back to the classic version, this happens. Any solution so far?

The new Outlook.com is constantly flashing. Also, the scroll bar keeps moving / dancing left and right several times per second. Please repair this nervous behavior of Outlook.

I have a strong dislike for the new hotmail system. Everytime I go into hotmail the screen flashes for about 3 minutes, I can't drag a message into a new email box to save, the sort feature does not even work. I like my facebook folder to sort by the posters name and I can no longer do this. Please go back to the classic version. This one is not ready for use.
