Where is Skype???
5,514 votesThanks for your interest in the new Outlook Web! At this point, we have begun work to offer an integrated Chat experience in the new Outlook Web.
Just like there is a new (and better) Outlook Web, you can expect a new (and better) Chat experience as well! We can’t wait to show it off to you, but we must, as we need to make sure it is of high quality before you see it. :)
You will be able to use Chat in Outlook Web again at some point in the near future, but until then, brb.

Hi all – Thanks for reporting these issues, and for trying the new experience. We for sure don’t want you guys to be hitting performance issues!
However, we need a bit more details to help try to understand the problem.
Can you please respond back with what Brower, Browser Version, and Operating system you are using?
This will help us target our investigation.
Thanks
David Los

Open another / new mailbox
need to be able to open another mailbox from the new OWA like you can in the old OWA
2,612 votesWe are in the process of rolling out a fix that will allow you to search the address book for the mailbox you want to open, so you don’t have to type the full email address. This will get you more in line with the classic experience
Thank you for your patience!

Clean, Clear Interface
Mail interface is just a mess. Cluttered, confusing, difficult to use. Please, please, please clean up the interface. Smaller fonts. Less cruft. Something like old desktop Outlook, Thunderbird, or Zimbra.
The old interface was an abomination. The new one is no better.
1,534 votesFirst off, I just wanted to take a minute and personally thank each and everyone of you for trying the new Outlook on the Web experience and for taking time to provide feedback!
We truly read every piece of feedback and discuss how to best iterate and improve the product. With that being said, there seems to be a set of users that are saying they feel the new experience is more cluttered. This is for sure not the impression we want to leave!
As we dig in, we see two pieces of UI that are getting the most feedback from this group. First it is the Sender Photos and second it is the attachment previews.
We actually have a setting that can turn both of these off. If you can, can you try disabling these two features and see if everything feels better? We would love to hear back.

Flags vs unflag: more options please!
When flagging an email there used to be several options (e.g. complete), but now you con only turn the flag on or off. Why would you take away useful functionality?
628 votesThanks for taking the time to provide feedback! We are working to bring this functionality back to OWA in the coming weeks.

Move emails from to line to the cc line by dragging
When emailing and you accidentally put someones name in the "To" line but need to move them to the "Cc" line. You use to be able to just drag them back and forth. Now you have to delete and then re-add them in the appropriate place.

Calendar color choices too limited.
Need more than 7 color choices. We schedule a service desk and need separate colors for each persons calendar. These are calendars, not events so we need the choice in the drop down for the calendar, not in categories.
466 votesThanks for your feedback. We’re currently reviewing the request to provide more calendar color choices and will reply back once we have an update.

Images in Email Signature
After attaching an image to the Email Signature settings, I could not attach a hyperlink to that image like how I could do it on the old outlook. Please look into that.

No Shared mailboxes with new Outlook
I used share mailboxes a lot as a small business. With the new outlook, I was no longer able to switch to my shared mailboxes. I immediately switched back. This needs to be fixed.
238 votesHi there, thanks for trying the new Outlook experience and for providing feedback.
Can you share more details about what you are expecting? We do have the Open other mailbox which is in the top right.
Thanks, and I look forward to hearing what you feel is missing.
