Pinned messages do not show preview or sender
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...
492 votesHey all, thanks for your feedback. We changed the pinned items to occupy less space so that you could still see new messages in your inbox even if you had a lot of pinned items.
We assumed that by pinning the items, you would know what the email was about so you’d need less information on the message.
We’ll track this item and figure out whether we want to change it in the future.

Where is the notification bell?
And also, why does it open a new tab every time I go to the calendar? That's really stupid
420 votesSorry all, I made a mistake on the last post. Internally, we’ve changed the behavior to switch apps in the same tab. We’re slowly rolling out this change, and testing to see which version people like better. I’ve relayed your feedback to the PM leading this effort.
On the notifications pane: we’re interested in trying out a number of new notification types. Could you please fill out the following survey to let us know which kinds of notifications you want to see in the pane?

Calendar Searching
In the Calendar: Using the old outlook, the search function was able to pull up a coworkers calendar to see their schedule and availability. Using the new outlook, the search function only looked for my events on my own calendars. Please allow other calendars to be searched for.
338 votesThank you for your feedback. We’re working on the ability to view a coworker’s calendar from the search box. We’ll reply back once we have an update.
In the meantime, to view a coworker’s calendar, you can go to the calendar navigation pane, select “Import calendar”, and then select “From directory” in the dialog. Please see more details here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Import-or-subscribe-to-a-calendar-in-Outlook-on-the-web-503ffaf6-7b86-44fe-8dd6-8099d95f38df

Pinned emails need Visual Prominence
In the old outlook, it was very prominent with a preview of the message. Now it just blends with all the other emails and is hard to distinguish as important. Edit design to make pinned emails pop out more.
210 votesThanks for your feedback! We’ll look into changing the color of the pinned items so that they’re more obvious. We’ll let you know after we’ve looked into this.

Folders - Ease Moving Emails into Folders
Please re-add under "Move To" on an email the "Move To A Different Folder" vs. "All Folders." For someone with multiple folders and subfolders, the "All Folders" option is very confusing when attempting to move emails to various folders.

There is no GAL
No GAL showed up in the new Outlook.
346 votesThanks for the feedback. I’d like to reiterate that we are looking forward to making it possible for you to browser your global address list / directory when choosing recipients.
In the mean time, you’re already able to perform searches against the GAL/directory. By typing in the recipient textbox, a search query will be run against all sources, so you can find your recipients in this manner.

calendar font size on print out is too small
There are a few issues with the Calendar. As part of daily activities, I print out my daily calendar to keep track of my day.
The calendar print out font is too small to read.
Dark mode prints out with a black background which is not ideal for readability or use.
There is no room for notes.154 votesHello everyone! Thanks for the feedback on this issue. While we look into options, I would like to suggest that folks try turning off the “mini-month” after selecting print. This is a checkbox on the bottom of our print form before the browser print form. Please let me know if this helps

Add more themes!
Although there is a different range of themes, it'd be nicer if there were more as some of them are distracting or too childish.

Put auto reply (for out of office) but in the settings area so it's easy to access
Put automatic replies back in the settings drop down (rather than us now having to click on "view all settings") This is used often and should be easy to get to. You have made it more difficult, which makes no sense.

No easy access to directory/global address list
In old OWA 'Directory' appears in the main tree on the list, in new Outlook it's not visible anywhere.
115 votesThanks for your feedback about no longer being able to easily access the directory.
We’re currently working on bringing the directory back to the left navigation. In the mean time, you can use search to find people and entities in your organization.
