Annoying colorful circles near the emails
Keep the old look
Anonymous
shared this idea
Thanks for the feedback! The colorful circles are what we call Sender Images. If you have a photo for that contact, it will be displayed when you have an email from them. When you don’t have a photo the circles are filled in with color and the initials of the sender.
Now I totally understand that you don’t like them! I know not everyone enjoys every feature we introduce, however we do offer flexibility by disabling them if you don’t like them.
To turn these off do the following:
1) Click on the Gear in the upper right hand corner
2) In the Quick Settings Pane that opened look for Sender Photos
3) You can enable or disable the Sender photos right there.
Thanks for the feedback, and please keep it coming!

have more competition, I'm sick and tired of outllook and microsoft, I can no longer transfer mails from my inbox to other folders or forward mails to others, I'm fed up of focussed and non focussed inboxes which means I have to look in 2 places rather than One, microsoft is a pain in the ****.

ARE THERE ANY SOFTWARE DESIGNERS LEFT IN THE WORLD? ARE THERE ANY SOFTWARE DESIGNERS LEFT AT MICROSOFT? Do any of you remember the old Software saying " garbage in garbage out"? With regard to some rules to allow users to block incoming emails from all of their folders, (block rules) Microsoft has failed as innovators, designers, and programmers. Sad for such a great company. I can't believe the rule choices available today, it looks like they don't even check emails in the junk folder, they only check for a work in a subject or whatever, there should be some logic lexicon, syntax analysis, etc, get real, and there should be an action option of block, not just put it in the junk folder, the rule should allow users to block the email from ever getting to the junk folder. does microsoft run analysis routines to see what everyone is blocking from their junk folders? Do they look for trends in blocked items to quickly write a global block of the real source sender not some random generated string of numbers email address. I could go on and on. I look at the **** that should be blocked and I see fantastic opportunity to write code that would eliminate 98% of the junk, then you could give bonuses to the analyst that can catch the other 2%. You should be analyzing what is blocked and adding global block rules on an hourly basis. and not just if the "word" is in the subject move it to junk folder. what a joke. it should be is the syntax string analyzed for "nonsense" or meets a string of tests that is "******" junk, then block it don't just put it in the junk folder. come on you guys, we were writing better code in the 1960's than you guys are today.

I am having a lot of glitches with this new update. especially when writing, it moves the courser in different location, and its loading is glitchy, and it sends back some of my e mails that I send to other people.

I find this version of Outlook web mail to be nearly unusable due to it's latency to even highlight a word and try to replace it by typing in the change. I will not use it again.

This new version feels like it is totally designed for a cell phone, which is fine, for those using it on a phone. But for me, on my laptop, prefer the general layout of the previous version.

You asked why I wouldn't recommend Microsoft to anybody. Here's another reason. You make changes to your product that just blows away my previous settings. I once had rules set up to help manage my email. I now discover that with the latest update, those rules have been wiped out.
Thanks Microsoft!

Awful system. E mails disappear, doesn't show all sent items. Can't find actions - everything has been moved to silly places. Have tried it twice. Will not be using again

It too much like office 360 mail and I liked this version of outlook because it was plain jane and not flashy. In my opinion you've ruined outlook and if this is the future I'm leaving it.

This is pretty confusing how the email is laid out. I received one email which was forwarded to me with email chain. It showed divided into multiple sections very confusing as to what comes first what comes next. The non-beta version doesn't have this feature and is a LOT better

I tried the Beta but didn't like the layout. When I found that it doesn't currently enable you to recover or purge deleted files..and to do so you have to revert to the existing version..I decided to stick with the existing version. Problem is that now none of the drop down menus work anymore. Why are you messing with the existing version now. Is it an attempt to force us into switching to Beta. Not happy.

You're trying to be too fancy. I want a clean grown-up interface that assumes I know what I want.

What has happened to my good old faithful E Mail system? This new mess has appeared without my approval.

I don't care for the new e-mail page [beta]. I want it back the way it was, everything [writing] seems smaller and when you open the e-mails they seem bunched up small hard to read...You evidently don't consider there are older people on the computer too...
