When writing a new email, Outlook opens up a new email. The cursor briefly flashes in the To field and then jumps to the main message. You end up writing the recipient's email address in the main message not the To field. The cursor should not jump to the main message field.

New Messages and replies place the cursor into the message body instead of the TO: field, which our users are finding to be irritating and not in keeping with the offline outlook defaults and experience.

The cursor should be in the TO: field as the usual workflow is to add emails, then possibly CC:, and Topic field... then the user clicks into the body.

If a day to book for a recurrent meeting falls on a holiday, it should be rejected automatically and enable us to rebook the item on another day.
Therefore, it would be great if you could add such a setting.

"Upgrade to Office 365 with premium Outlook features" - why do I see this in the bottom-left corner of my screen? We're on M365 Business. Clicking the link directs me to buy O365 Home. Should I downgrade?

Currently the Office 365 group calendar is disclosed only to the group members, but I want other users to see the group calendar as well. It would be great if I can let user see the group calendar without adding him to the group as a member.

In the old outlook pinned messages would show the same things as a normal message, however now they just show the title. Now I have to open up each email to remind myself who it was from and what it was about...

outlook did the update to spell check and the option- "add to dictionary" is removed, this need to be added back its required urgently, due to option Ignore all is useless!

Where is setting to have "Read" message receipts?

Currently, Browse with Room finder option is unclickable and does not provide any room option if we click it when we try to add the conference room from Scheduling Assistant in Ootw calendar.
We can select the option by using arrow keys and Enter key but using the keyboard every time is inconvenient. It would be great for our operation if we can click to use the Browse with Room finder option in Scheduling Assistant.

Make status work as intended, and as it does on Old Outlook

In the current version you copy and paste email addresses. it would be helpful to be able to do that in this update.

It would be great if we could delete items in the O365 group mailbox at once by using item retention policy, or if items can be automatically deleted when the O365 group mailbox capacity is almost full. If the mailbox no longer has enough item capacity, we need to manually delete items or recreate the Office 365 group which is time consuming for us.

When receiving email from qq.com , we start to see ? question marks in the mail for certain Chinese characters. Most likely the new outlook version does not use the default qq.com's gb18030 encoding method.

It was working before Jan 30th.

We can request recipients to share their calendar with the Share Calendar option in the Outlook client for semi-annual channel. So, it would be great if Ootw would have the similar requesting feature for the calendar sharing.

With the old Outlook Experience, you could ensure that any items added to a shared calendar by another person you were sent an email notification. The actual setting was "When someone updates an event or task on this calendar, send details of the change to:"

This seems to not be available with the new Outlook experience, or hidden somewhere that is not easy to find.

Could you please add this back in, as it is most useful for Shared Calendars, and available with other email/calendar services such as Google.

TURN OFF PREDICTIVE TEXT IN OUTLOOK.

Similar to how Swiftkey can check spelling on more than one language. Thank you.

To send and receive emails more efficiently, it would be great if you could implement a transport rule to block emails when external recipients are included in TO and CC, and allow sending messages when external addresses are included in BCC.

Stop the auto response email response. Turn it off! Is there a way to turn it off. I do not want to see it again. I am not a robot.
