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.

When an email is open, as contrasted with it being a line item in the inbox, it does not show at all whether it is flagged or not. I have often tried to tick Flag, only to find that I am actually removing a flag.

1 Why is it NOW inconsistent with the Android App on this point? Is not consistency preferred?
2 The dumb Outline Flag is even more problematic with a Dark Theme(s) that are becoming increasingly popular. -

The "Flagged" mail icon when using a browser isn't very noticeable anymore. It does NOT stand out like it used to. Please change it to either a solid colour or different icon.

I always use pin and flag simultaneously. All my flagged emails are pinned and vice versa. I don't want two features - please allow me to combine them in one.

The new red outlines of waving flag are much less prominent then the old solid red icon - This is a problem because I rely on this feature to rapidly organize my inbox.
Please create an option to go to a "bold" flag/pin icon instead (similar to what was done for event color-tags, which I had to change from the new default).
It sounds small, but this is the kind of thing that would push me to using another email service instead of Outlook.

Don't know what people are asking here, but I'd like Outlook to stop adding colour to the whole item in my inbox/sent items and simply show a red flag when I add a reminder!

PLEASE go back to the Classic solid red Flags and solid green Pinned icons instead of these silly faint outlines that are impossible to see!

Bring back the solid-colored icons for the red flags and blue pins when flagging and pinning emails of importance. The outlines of flags and pins you are using in the new format are barely noticeable compared to the solid-colored icons that were in your Classic format. Solid-colored icons stand out and command attention. Outlines do not.

Because the flags aren't bold enough to highlight important mail, I've begun marking some as "not read" - then the system moved them to "Junk"! yikes!

Put the flags back the way they were so they are SOLID RED. Now not noticeable and too easy to miss. (and ugly!)

"Flagged" and "Pinned" icons are too light-coloured; do not catch eye attention easily.

I do NOT like the new format! All the little colored circles are distracting, commands at the top are in different positions, the flag is difficult to see now that it's not solid/filled in. The delete option is not as easy to use.
I wish you'd let us pick things that we want and not force all of us to change! It took me forever to find the "forward" feature a while back. -

Again I request, PLEASE bring back the "pointed" flag w/ solid red (NOT outline only) AND the "pushpin" w/ solid blue (NOT outline only)...
"outline only" makes it too hard to see if they are "activated" or not, as well as differentiate between the two when choosing to activate one.
This newer style slows down the use, because I have to look more carefully at which one I'm using, as well as if it is activated or not....not everyone has perfect eyesight.
All the different tasks, with their slower response time, adds up to much more time needed than before. That is NOT improvement. -

All flagged emails are showing on top and you need to scroll down to see other emails, very tiring for the eyes and so not user friendly. There should be an option to collapse the flagged emails.

I can barely see the FLAGS on items I flagged.
