The new Outlook may not be worth updating. There are many reliable and time-tested portability features the new Outlook has missing. New glitches will take a lot of time to improve and become a pro.
Outlook has many new changes now. There is a new navigation bar and different icons. People think they are easy to use at first. But it is hard for some to get used to them.
The new Outlook tries to make things simpler with the same kind of icons. But these icons are too simple for some people. There is a new email icon that looks like a flat envelope. People who like the old icon with the paper may find this weird.
The new bar has options that are not easy to understand at the start. There is a Focused/Other inbox that sorts your emails. Focused is for important mail, and Other is for less important mail. This could be helpful, but some prefer all emails together.
The bar also has the calendar on top now, above the email folders. Some may like this. But others think it gets in the way as they do not use the calendar much.
Outlook is hard for some people because it looks like a website, not a normal program. It may be easy to get, but some people find it too much because of how it looks.
Finding things on the Outlook navigation bar can be hard. It is hard to find important things like the “Send” button. The icons were made simple to help users, but some find it hard to know what they mean.
Outlook does not work the same on all computers, and this is a problem. You can use Outlook on different devices, but some things you can do on one you can’t do on another.
Sending emails from Windows Outlook is easier than sending them from the web version. This is hard for people who use different devices and want them all to work the same.
A big problem with Outlook is emails do not come or update fast. A lot of people say they do not get emails fast enough. This is bad for people who need quick emails for work or other things.
Sometimes, the problem is because the internet is slow or there are server problems. Even with good internet, people still say emails are slow. This happens a lot with big emails and ones with things attached to them. Old mails come back as new mails.
Users say old emails come back as new. This mix-up emails. It happens when sorting by date or using Focused/Other inbox. People with many emails find this hard. They cannot tell if they read or replied to emails.
The new Outlook works best with Windows 10. Older Windows versions may not work with it. Also, some email programs like Mozilla may have issues.
The new Outlook has better security like two-factor and data encryption. However, users still worry about how their data is used. Some think the ads are not good, and they feel uncomfortable. This is important for company users who are afraid of data leaks or hacks.
Additionally, the new Outlook lacks the robust fortified security feature that is standard in the advanced applications. The 2-factor security adds to the layer and ensures that all your information is in safe hands. Another feature that is missing is the Time Password (OTP) confirmation, that is added peace of mind.
Changing to the new Outlook is hard. But users have help choices. They can ask for help from Microsoft’s tech support or forums. They can also watch tutorials on using Outlook. With time, users can use new features better. This improves their work. Report on New Outlook Issues
Users are complaining about the new Outlook. The new simple icons are hard for some to understand. The simple envelope icon does not show it is for a new email, which confuses people. Also, the new navigation bar makes people upset. The Focused/Other inbox needs more steps to see all emails, which is upsetting. Putting the calendar above the folders list makes people who do not use it much annoyed. People must get used to the changes, but some might not like the new Outlook. There are other email options that might fit what different users want better.
