Microsoft Outlook 4+

I have lots of emails from a few years back, some from the same sender that I have not deleted, with some important and needed emails, even though there are other functions like “sweep” on the Outlook website, but I keep getting notifications on the app telling me that my inbox is 92% etc full - aside from “archive” there should be another place on the app to store wanted/needed emails and this, along with everything you do on the app, should be updated on the website (and vice versa) should be automatically synced on the website and vice versa without always needing to log onto the website - the functions for mass/bulk deletion of emails should be totally redesigned for those of us who are not as disciplined enough to delete unwanted emails at once without opening - a scan for potentially unwanted emails should be put in as a function with a checkbox to keep certain emails and send them to another folder, then just delete the rest on the visible page number

This is a really good app, but it needs more control over the junk folder. I have my filters set to max when it comes to making sure that all unknown senders get thrown into the junk folder, but in order for me to say it’s from a safe sender, I have to log into my outlook from the desktop version, which seems nuts to me. Why not just be able to do it in the app? I keep getting sent mail from random spam companies, of which I would be inundated with 4-6 emails a day (every day) who were trying to get me to click on nefarious links, which were making it into my inbox every single time. Their titles and headings meant that Outlook’s filters were just not picking them up, so I had to set my filters to max, which sent every unknown email into my junk folder. This is good, but it means that I occasionally have to add a known company, or sender to my safe sender’s list, but the control to do that, is not currently in this app. Please can this be rectified? Thanks.

However awful Outlook is on desktop, you’re pretty much stuck with it in corporate Windows environment. So using it on mobile too kind of makes sense for convenience and consistency.

Over the last couple of years I was willing to put up with its bugs and limitations - all complicated apps inevitably have them.

However I finally bit the bullet, removed it today and switched to a separate but better apps for email, calendar, and contacts. The reason is that it yesterday (for the second time this year) deleted a year’s email. It is ridiculously easy to brush the ‘select all’ and delete icons without realising it. Before you notice, your emails are disappearing before your eyes, with the deletions being synchronised across all devices linked to your accounts. So for 2nd time this year I have wasted hours going message by message through 3 sets of recycle bins trying to work out which messages were intentionally or unintentionally deleted, and restoring accordingly. Poor for an app that is supposed to increase productivity.
