Dark mode needs dark compose
Dark mode needs to include message compose. Currently UI is dark but new compose message is eye searing white.
130 votesHi all – Just wanted to let you know that as of today we are starting to roll out support for dark compose. This will mean you don’t have to have the white screen when writing an email.
Also this week you should now be able to select themes when you have dark mode enabled!
Thanks for the awesome feedback and suggestions.

Distribution Groups removed from settings menu.
Need to be able to access Distribution Groups (not Office 365 Groups) from OWA like in old version so users can self-service join/leave.

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
459 votesNotification bell has been shipped to all Enterprise users, and we’ve fixed it so that each module opens in the same tab.
By the way, we’re working on adding some new scenarios to the notifications bell. Could you take this survey to let us know what scenarios you are most interested in?
Thanks for the feedback!

Dark Mode and other Theme Colors
When in dark mode you should have the ability to select the accent color
320 votesHi all – Just wanted to let you know that as of today you should be able to start picking themes when you are in dark mode. This should give you a bit more options to make it look and feel like your own!
Also over the next two weeks we are also adding dark compose for when you are writing your emails. This way you don’t have to see a white screen as well :)
Thanks for the suggestions!

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.
348 votesWe have completed the work that allows you to search and add a users calendar. After executing a search for a resolved person, you will see an option at the top of the list view that allows you to “Add Calendar”. Once you do this, you will be able to see both calendars together.

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.
275 votesHi there – I just wanted to provide an update and give some more information about the Shared Mailboxes.
First the easiest solution is to click on the Picture/Initials in the top right hand corner (me card) and select Open Mailbox. This way you can open the full mailbox in another tab.
The second option, you can right click on the Folders word in the left pane (folder list). From here select Add Shared Folder.
Hope this helps!
Thanks

Good / Awesome / Great
I love the new calendar view that shows today as double-width. So much better use of screen space for what I care about most.
Best feature I've seen come to outlook in a VERY long time.

Old calendar UI was more readable (fonts/colors)
The old calendar UI (colored blocks with white text) was more readable than the new version. The new version is too bright/harder to look at.
513 votesThank you for your feedback! The deployment for an option to switch to more saturated calendar colors in the new Outlook on the web is now complete.
If you would like to try out this experience, please click on the gear icon in the top right of your calendar module to access your settings, and toggle “Bold event colors”.

Cannot add New Event into a shared Calendar
In Calendar, you can view a calendar shared among people, but when you click +New Event, it will only allow you to add the Event into a calendar you own. This is not very efficient for a calendar that requires many Events from several different people.
224 votesThanks for using the new Outlook on the web. You can create an event on a shared calendar by selecting the calendar drop down in the title bar of the event creation form.

All Day Cal events no longer scroll in Chrome
In the last week, the Office 365 calendar in Chrome browser has stopped scrolling through all day events.
Meaning we have 10 all day events listed, only 5 are displayed and we need to scroll down to see the other five 'all day' events for that day....and it suddenly stopped working.
I hadn't installed a Chrome update prior so assuming the issue was MS based.
Again, this is just scrolling through multiple 'all day' events at the top section of the calendar. Doesn't matter if view is in day, work week or week.
I installed Chrome update after this started…
21 votesWe have fixed this. Thank you for your feedback and bringing attention to this issue!
