Where is Skype???
6,045 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 fill out this form telling us which Browser, Browser Version, and Operating system you are using?
This will help us target our investigation.
Thanks
Colin

When viewing month in calendar, see list selected day's events on the right
Previous version had this breakdown to the right of the month view. This was useful if I had more than 4 or 5 events on my schedule for the day.
820 votesWe’re working on bringing the ability to see your day’s events to the month view. Thanks for your feedback!

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.
546 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.

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.

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.
467 votesThanks for your feedback! We are now working on an option for more saturated calendar colors. We’ll reply back once we have an update on availability.

DO NOT OPEN CALENDAR, CONTACTS or TASKS in a new window!
Do not open calendar, contacts or tasks in a new window, or at least make that configurable!
If you're using a browser-app window (Chrome is capable of that) than you have an application window for Outlook 365, with Icon on the desktop and all, and you have no tabs in that window.
If the calendar and the others are opened in a new window, a new browser window with that tab opens and you loose the overview you have with that integrated browser-web-application.So for now I am back to the old version due to this.
424 votesThanks for the feedback. We have heard feedback from users that love the way that new tabs are opened, as well as those that don’t. We are going to be doing some improvements that will allow both ways. Look for an update coming soon.

Images in Email Signature

343 votesThanks for the great feedback! We are actively working on ensuring that the ability to add images and links in your signature is restored in the new version. We will update this posting onces the improvements start to roll out.

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.

Can't drag emails into folder pane
I can't drag emails into the left hand folder pane, like was possible with the old interface. Would be such a time saver if this works in the new interface as well. Using Edge 42.17134.1.0

viewing multiple calendar
When viewing multiple calendars they are just laid on top of each other, yes they are a different color, but i have no idea who's calendar is who's. Also, to turn off one of those calendar, I have to search thru my 50 saved calendars to find the one that is enabled. You used to have a tab at the top that showed the user name and you could easily dismiss their calendar from that little tab.

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.
272 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.
