Move the "Private" event toggle out from the Status drop down and into its own checkbox
Currently, if you want to change an events' status and mark it private, you have to go into the same status drop down twice. "Private" should be moved into its own dedicated checkbox or switch, like it used to be.

Search Results Displayed After Search Box Cleared
There does not seems to be an intuitive way to clear a search and have Outlook display all items. I cleared out the search bar at the top of the window, but Outlook still only displayed the search results.

The trash can icon on the message line can cause lost emails
I've noticed some of my emails were disappearing when I clicked on them. I found out I would by chance quickly click where the trash can icon was and delete the email. Can that somehow be changed, removed from that location?

Modify the ribbon in compose mode
Please, please let me customize the ribbon in compose view. When "switch background" got added, it pushed "Signatures" off the screen in full-screen mode. Now it's a five-click process to add a single signature and send a message (right arrow, signature, specific signature, left-arrow, send) versus three (signatures, specific, send).

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?

really expand to full-screen, when outlook window is set as a separate space.
Please expand to full screen when the outlook window is set to expanded mode and set as a operate space. Currently the window leaves a thick empty area at the bottom ( probably the status bar used to sit here previously )
1 voteNote the area at the bottom of Full Screen view is where minimized windows, such as email, events, and contacts, are placed

Modernize printing
Please give printing an overhaul too.
Kill the Page Setup menu and make the print dialog work like the default macOS print dialog where the Page Setup settings are in the print dialog.
Perhaps correct scaling of mails could be fixed too. Mails with wide embedded images and some HTML mails, don't scale to fit the page nomatter what we do. The right edge is cut off.
Printing the same mails from Apple Mail woks fine,

Great new interface but needs old features
Love the new interface but need to have ability to auto CC myself on emails and replies, ability to set OOO and people, tasks, notes. Overall, I commend the efforts of the new interface, the search is great and the UI is very responsive and looks amazing.
3 votesThanks for the suggestions. We’ll use this to track “When sending messages, automatically Cc myself” setting. There are other suggestions covering auto-reply (OOO), people, tasks, and notes.

Filter Calendar by Category
My calendar is typically VERY full with overlapping things. I use categories to keep it all straight. PLEASE add the ability to view my calendar one category at a time (the checkboxes on the left-side under the calendar name). PLEASE!

Show and browse declined events
It would be so convenient to allow visibility of or browse declined or old email invites.
As a user, it gives me the ability look back to what I had done previously. I can get access to related attachments, list of attendees, details in the meeting invite, and change my invite status if I become available.

All for the spawning of a new window with a right-click on the lower-left icon
Just like the Windows version, right-clicking on the mail, calendar, people, tasks, and notes icons in the lower-left corner should give the option to open in a new window. Current functionality requires File --> New --> Main Window and then navigating to the desired tool.

Distance between the folder names is to big
UI
The distance between the folder names at the left pane is too big and the font must be customizable
1 voteThanks for the suggestion. FYI: The ability to resize the text in the sidebar is supported in Fonts preferences.

to have all emails synched not only a small subset.
Me as a user I want to have all my emails available in my client not only a small subset. Despite that I do want to have the option to synchronize down all items.
3 votesThanks for the suggestion, we are reviewing the feedback around providing a setting to choose how much (or how little) Outlook items to sync

I want a reply function that puts the sender in the To: field and everyone else in the CC: field
It would be such a time saver to have a reply to function that put the sender of the original message in the To: field and everyone else the message was sent to into the CC: field. This would be such a win and so easy to do.
