How do I use blocking? Doesn't work!
Blocked sender domains are not getting sent to junk mail automatically. Here it is: seeingeye.org The guy fills in whatever name at the beginning, keeps sending BS from the same domain name, and I can't get rid of it.

Hide some sensitive informations in our account (outlook.com)
I propose to hide the date when we changed our password. Because this is considered as a sensitive information. Sometimes people forget to log out of their account at work or school, and the next person who will use the computer will be able to access to their mailbox and view their personal informations, such the date the password was changed. Some persons I know have lost their account because of that and the malicious person contacted the support and provided them the date when the password was changed (in addition to other personal informations) to make it look like…

Don't Like Delete Icon 'popping up' in the Inbox, when the deleted email is reachable in the Deleted Folder.
I don't like the feature that 'pops up' (on the "Inbox") when one deletes an email. (It states: "Deleted" and "Undo".) It is very distracting and hides / covers up upcoming emails on the Inbox list. - What is the purpose to retrieve it (deleted email) from our regular 'delete folder'? WE CAN JUST GO TO OUR DELETED FOLDER. - If you were to find a way to bring up deleted emails (deleted from the delete folder) that would be a good feature. But to have an icon pop-up in the Inbox with every time we click to delete an…

More spam filtering options
Add "from contains" condition to junk email filtering rules, rather than just the ability to add an email address. Spammers may use different/multiple email addresses but the same words in the shorthand name they use under "from."

block partial domain name
More spam now avoids your detection and our blocking by variation in domain name. example:
hzoUq1FOXgy@sujtcheshirecontractors.com.au
Hundreds of emails ending in "shirecontractors.com.au" but prepended with random letters. If your BLOCK DOMAIN just allowed a wildcard template like
*shirecontractors.com.au
or even *.au
we'd have far more control of where we accept mail from.24 votes -

Multiple Calendar Reminders
I am looking at Office 365 as a viable alternative to Google Apps. One of the most useful features of Google Calendar is that I can have multiple reminders specified. So for instance my default is to receive a reminder 2 weeks ahead, 1 week ahead, 2 days ahead and 2 hours ahead.
I can only see an option for one reminder on the Office 365 calendar and can't see how to add more. This is a serious omission. A basic calendar requirement in my opinion.

Account recovery
Please expand the account recovery form to include more questions, & thus more chance to recover an old account. Questions like "(apprimately) when was the account made", "(appr.) when did you last login", "from which email accounts did you receive emails" and "to which accounts was your email linked" would be helpful. I know the last two are less reliable, but maybe make them 'weigh' less importance to compensate. And maybe allow for a 5~10% window on the "when" questions if theyre more than 2 months ago.
Lastly, it would be really nice if it were possible to speak to…6 votes
