Reduce font size in the Inbox view
The font size is too large proportionally to all other fonts in the UI.
Adjusting the existing font size setting applies globally and does not address the proportion issue, making the other UI fonts (which are great at the default size) too small.
Coupled with the inability to hide message preview text, the current size notably limits the # of items that can be viewed.
Thanks for your consideration.

Access folders with the left sidebar collapsed
I like having the left sidebar collapsed as it reduces wasted screen real estate. However, I occasionally need to access other folders like Sent, Archived, etc which means I have to collapse and expand this sidebar every time to see those items. It would be great to have another method of switching folders while keeping this sidebar collapsed.
Note: this should also apply to calendars, people, notes, and tasks.

Unified inbox as default launching view
We know that the unified inbox is coming back but it's really important that we can set it as the default view when Outlook in launching.
This feature is really simple but very important. It was missing from the last Outlook on Mac.
Please. Add it.

Create an option to duplicate calendar events
This has long been a feature of 3rd party apps like Fantastical and I don't understand why Outlook doesn't have it yet. It's such a no-brainer and so handy. Right-click an event | Duplicate.

Implement web's reading pane
Outlook for Web condenses the conversation nicely; expanding only the most recent message and giving a preview of the others. You can then expand each previous message separately if you need more context.
I LOVE the Outlook web app and want it as a native macOS app.

Support of MAC standard keyboard shortcuts
On MacOS you've standardised keystrokes when moving the cursor or editing text. It's very inefficient and distracting, that Outlook is not following this standard.
One example:
System wide you can use Ctrl-a to jump to the beginning of a line
In Outlook it selects all text. -> Very problematic for people who can write fast.21 votes -
Include archive, delete, and flag buttons in mail notifications
When the notification window is displayed for new incoming email, please include buttons to quickly archive, delete, or flag the new incoming email without having to go to the main outlook window. It would be nice to be able to quickly delete incoming email if we don't want to read it, right from the notification display.

Add option to remove email date groups in inbox
I keep a pretty clean inbox, and while I like the overall design of thew new Outlook's Inbox area a lot of screen space is wasted to these "This week", "Last week", etc" identifiers that are just not needed.
Please let me turn them off, like you could in old Outlook (via unchecking "Show in Groups" setting).

Remember Outlook window position
Each time when I start Outlook it opens on the main screen with a random size window. Ideally, I would love to see it in the exact same location and size as it was before I quit it e.g. fullscreen on the second monitor.
Thank you.15 votes -
Add feature already in Windows (Previous/Next)
Mirror Windows version function related to "After moving or deleting an open item" and the option to return, open previous or next. Also, add previous/next buttons to email windows.

Ability to use an alias on Gmail
Was previously able to use an alias on a Gmail account, no longer able to do that on the new Outlook. Love it but this was an important feature. Can you restore?

Fix quick creating new event in Calendar
When clicking button for 'New Event' upper left corner, all event features are available, and default settings from Preferences are followed. However if you double click on a time in the calendar to create a new event, the options are limited (unable to set status as 'Tentative', unable to set Reminder which is stuck at 15 minutes by default--not respecting the Preferences.

Search Sent folder for "To:" addresses, not "From:"
When I'm searching sent mail, I NEVER need to search on the From: message, and am ALWAYS looking for a message I sent to someone. I'm sure there are exceptions to that for some people and accounts, but in general, that would be the intelligent field to be searching for when in the Sent folder.
