Outlook.

How dare they assault my sensibilities. I mean they are wrong in making me get used to hotmail and then to change it dramatically to a format overnight and force it on me :mad:

Everything is wrong with Outlook.
Horrible font.
Unaesthetic format.
Overloaded with scrolling features, here, there and everywhere.
The name Outlook itself is a nightmare.
Search function moved to the left has offended me.
The titles right on top is stupid idea.
The whole thing on top looks like a toolbar, I protest that.
And what is all that rubbish on the right hand side panel?
Why impose it on me? There is no feature to opt out of this . I am angry.
Overall it is revolting.

What enrages me the most is that the subject coloumn is missing. Has anyone worked out where the subject line is when you reply to a mail or start a new one?

    have to agree with you. I have Hotmail account for years and now this. I signed up the other day and I cant even get the thing to give me my emails, I can get them on my phone but they wont show up in outlook, also is there such a thing as a refresh button?, I cant seem to find one.
    maybe I will get used to it in time but so far not happy
  • Hi,

    Download Mozilla Thunderbird. It is much more usable and will pick up your mail so that you do not have to change addresses.

    It operates much like the old Microsoft accounts. Good to use and no ad's.
    You will still have Outlook so you will be able to go back if you want frustration..

    Good luck.
