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

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.
1,196 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?

I just wanted to let you know that there are two options to turn off those two features you mentioned.
1) Click on the Gear in the top right
2) Toggle off both the Sender Photos and Attachment previews.This should turn off both of those features you mentioned.
Hope this helps

278 votesThank you for your feedback! We are investigating different treatments to improve the distinction between read and unread states and will report back when we have any updates.
Please continue to provide detailed comments as to what is making it difficult to tell between the two states – these are extremely helpful!

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

Too few emails on screen.
New outlook has far fewer emails on the screen. Anything that reduces the number of emails on the screen is bad.

keep pop out window option for composing emails
Although the added tab feature is nice, the option of easily popping out an email into a new window should also be retained. I use this feature a lot, and I know others who do too.

Signature
Dear team,
when replying directly to a mail in the New Outlook Online version, I cannot include my signature (I need to open the mail in a separate window for that).
Can you please tell me if this will be fixed?
THanks and Regards,
