Spam/junk email showing up in Inbox
Why can’t you have a more efficient spam filter? When I get 10 emails saying the same dumb **** which is obviously spam, can’t I just block certain words? Or better yet, can’t you block emails even coming through to my spam folder/inbox which are obviously spam? I don’t need them, and I’m probably not alone...

Help - inbox emails automatically deleted and not in trash either
Help - inbox was automatically deleted - and trash only goes back a few weeks
96 votesWe apologize for the inconvenience caused. We have a few questions to understand what’s going wrong.
1. Is the entire inbox empty or are only a few mails missing?
2. Is this an intermittent issue? Are the mails sometimes visible and sometimes not?
3. Are you trying to look for the mails through the search icon or are you scrolling to the date to search for the mail?Do write back to us with your answers. We thank you for the continued patronage.
We’ve fixed a related bug on iOS 10.3. If you’re on this version of iOS, do let us know if you’re still not able to see your mail.

I have no way of getting back into my two outlook and hotmail accounts. I tried recovery forms which don’t work?
I am locked out of my own accounts I depend on to Pay bills, professional network and manage my life. You now have locked me out of two accounts and the recovery forms always come back saying I havent provided enough info for your system to recover my account. Well why can’t I send a passport, driving licence, proof of address. This is so wrong and I just want back into my own account.
The accounts are for paulreecescott@outlook.com and pauls ott16@hotmail.com
Please somebody help me.

Remove colored circle with abbreviation of sender
Hi, I use the bèta version and since a few days it shows a sort of big color filled dots with the abbreviation of the name of the sender on the left of each email in my inbox. That takes up a lot of space and adds no value for me, therefore lowers my productivity. It takes time to translate it to the name to know who the sender is, and that name is only 2 mm to the right.
Could you make it an option or disable it all? I'm either way interested in what the idea behind these…36 votes -
New format does not work
The new format does not work, my inbox says 22 messages when I open inbox there are only 3. At some random point they come up and half of them I've already deleted. I don't trust that I'm getting all my emails. I would love the old setup back please.

Make it easier to get in contact with someone about a problem
I’ve lost all my emails from my inbox and I am finding it really hard to contact someone. Virtual assistant is hopeless and emails sent to support are just coming back. Getting very frustrated have lost so many important emails. Really want someone to contact me or make it easier to contact support. 🤬🤬

Allow users the option to use the desktop version from their phone

Rich text formatting while composing mails
I purchased Office 365 specifically to have email functionality across all platforms. It is unacceptable that there is no way to format text in the Outlook app, in the body of the email but especially in the email signature. How is it possible that basic HTML, bold text, italics is not an option in 2020? How is it that people have been asking for this functionality for years, something that is already available in other android and iOS mail apps, yet Microsoft can't deliver? I'm regretting my purchase. Please get this done!
12 votesWe regret that you’re missing the ability to add rich text formatting to your mails. We have this ability today in the Outlook mobile app for iOS and Android which can downloaded from the app stores.
We will consider bringing this ability to Outlook on the mobile browser in the future as well.

Why the changes?
If you’re going to keep changing things why not try improving them instead of making it easy to lose things and hard to find them
170 votesThank you for your feedback. If you do not wish to use the new experience, you can opt out of it by switching off the Outlook beta toggle in the folder list. https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/Learn-about-the-Outlook-com-beta-for-your-phone-s-browser-0DCFD8A4-49AD-466B-80E7-B8FFF142FEFA this article contains a screenshot of how to turn it off.
If the Outlook beta toggle has been turned off, then you are still using the older experience.
We are striving to make the Outlook experience better and your feedback can help us. Let us know what it is about Outlook beta that you do not like.
Thanks,

Important mail going to junk folder
I want to be able to disable the junk filter entirely. Outlook flags more false positives than actual spam. This filter is wasting my time and making me miss critical messages.

Ads appears on paid account
Ads should not appear on a paid office account. One should be able to block it. Occupies way too much space, and they are not welcome on my paid office outlook service

I dont need you adding addresses to my contacts automatically. Abd it eont let me delete or amend them. I additiin when you make a typo in an addressee, guess what, you cant amend it. And it won't let me delete the friggin contact ot correct it. And whrn you hit the addressee to cotrect the typo it just keeps saving it. It is my business whether or not I want to save a contacf, not yours.. useless waste of time

Don’t even send blocked content to the junk folder
I must say I find the spam filter very ineffective. The way it is set (and I didn't find a way to change it), only emails from senders in my approved list go to my inbox. This means I have to constantly check the junk folder to see if I didn’t get something from a sender I haven't approved yet. So far so good. The problem is that the junk folder is also filled with emails from senders I already blocked!
When I block a sender, I don't even want to see their emails on the junk folder. It is…
