How can we improve Outlook on the web?

← The new Outlook on the web (Office 365)

Sort by Flagged or Category

I'd love to be able to have my Flagged or Category-assigned email at the top of my inbox, similar to how Pinned emails work currently. The issue with Pinned emails is that it doesn't translate to the desktop or mobile apps, which severely limits the usefulness of the option.

    When viewing emails associate to a category, i cannot sort them by subject.

    Request is to allow sorting email by subject when viewing email associated to a category

  • Bryan.Manley@outlook.com commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes! Please add the ability to sort by category in Outlook on the web. Otherwise, it makes using categories pretty inefficient.

    I couldn't figure out how to sort by Categories. This is an important part of working effectively with emails and keeping things prioritized.

  • Stephen.Warren commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Why is it you cannot sort emails via categories?? That makes Outlook365 in a business setting obsolete.

  • DJ commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please add the ability to sort by category and allow more category options in the online outlook. This has been overlooked for too long and is overdue.

    I noticed that you reduced the categories we could sort our email drafts by in the sort menu. Please at least bring back the feature where we could sort our drafts by name!

  • Becca.Snyder commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Why can't I search / filter my emails by category? I can apply a category, but there's no way to filter or search on it, or create a smart folder that bundles emails with the category.

  • Emili Astrom commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please add functionality to sort inbox by category, as is possible on the desktop app.

    This new way of displaying color categories for different email is horrible. Why would it need to spell out "purple category" and hide almost the entire header of the message which shows next to it in the inbox view? Even for colorblind people, "purple" should be sufficient, no? No need for it to say "category"

    100%!!!! come on.. this is fundamental!!!

    how is possible that you do not treat the priority email.. and you mixedup flagged mail with pinned mail???
