Issues with my display name

BSU21

There has been a lot of ups & downs lately with the app. Overall it is good. But recently It will not allow me to change my display name, it keeps reverted back to my email address. Very frustrating & sending & receiving email have been hit & miss. The customer service for the app is not great at all. They ONLY work with messages, not 1 phone # to call to talk with a live person. Biggest downside to the app...


Shared calendars problems

luobote

Previously addable shared calendars are no longer discoverable after past few updates and cannot be added anymore since reinstalling. There is no way to contact support through the app anymore to report bugs. Please contact me to help address this.


Poor mail, widgets; kiddie

Apple bought Acompli and cannibalized the mail app, proud of the “focused inbox” that other developers developed. Then, in July 2017, MS reworked the app giving us a clunky, busy, shelf apparatus that hides the number of emails in any Inbox and the folders. Asleep at the wheel, MS also replaced email account names with account icons so that, suddenly, your multiple Gmail accounts, for example, were indistinguishable from each other. Well, duh. Check out the dog-ugly solution. The app also is unprofessionally juvenile: e.g., an empty drafts folder says “start writing something fabulous.” Some writing is fabulous, but not emails. We also get the notice, “Nothing left to read, well played” — a junior-high grammar mistake called a comma splice. The calendar has childish icons, such as a mortar board with tassel, that appear when you have an appointment such as “eye exam.” Please. Please stop. The calendar — also a purchased app developed elsewhere, and cobbled together with the mail — improved when someone at MS awakened and gave us a monthly view; but bugs appear too. A current issue is that single, all-day events on the Apple calendar appear as two day events on the Outlook calendar. The awful phone widget selection gives only a few useless calendar options; and, the watch widget is slow and unhelpful. Outlook remains a Hannah Montana app not ready for professional work.

Good


Search function needed

Working search function is needed. Just put it on top of each inbox like the desktop version or any other apps.

Still don’t cut it...

If this update doesn’t include sending messages from aliases. It’s still unuseful. Only primary usages.


Fail

It’s shocking how bad this is. I lose the content of the messages pretty frequently. Think that is important? I notified customer service when I couldn’t see the content of every message in my inbox. They responded back six days later. They said they are aware of this issue. That was it. I can usually reset or move messages to another folder to view missing content, but I shouldn’t have to do that. It’s just a terrible application.


Some improvements

Sometimes the app just shuts down by itself. Also I don’t like seeing the numbers by junk. It looks like I have unread junk Mail but I don’t because I check my junk all the time
