Old version - how do I get it back???
The new version of Outlook mail doesn't work well on my phone. The calendar won't even open. Do I have an option to revert back to the older version?

We apologize for the inconvenience. We currently don’t support the ability to open shared mailboxes or other mailboxes that you have permissions to access.
To open these mailboxes, you can access Outlook from a desktop browser (by requesting the desktop site in the browser settings) or use the Outlook mobile app that can be downloaded from the iOS and Android app store.

I love this new look
Everything looks clean and cohesive. The left side panels have a very awesome feel and I can really day this is the best iteration of Outlook Mobile I've tried. Continue doing the best!

Change font style and size
This would be perfect if we were able to change the default font size/style. As well as being able to bold email signatures where required.
Sometimes when emailing we don’t want our recipient to know it’s an email sent from the phone which can come across as unprofessional when dealing with big clients.
This is why I can’t use this as much as I’d like to

I can not see the shared folders of my colleagues. Therefore, the new outlook is useless for me.
