Microsoft Outlook 4+

It’s been five months that I have reported this issue and for five months I am told it is a known issue and will be handled with an update; BULL The use to work as described. However, I am not able to load multiple contacts when either creating, forwarding or replying to additional contacts. I have Office 365 on my PC and wanted to synch my calendar and mailboxes, so I added the iOS Outlook app. I have tried contacting iOS support and they intermittently respond. It’s difficult to fix a problem they can’t see or spend time trying At this point the iOS app is not functioning correctly and isn’t supported very well. It’s coming off my iPhone. It’s been months and the problem has been “dumped” into a big black hole called engineering. No one owns any problem. The app works perfectly on my wife’s iPhone and the Apple mail app works perfectly.
It’s now been over a year. My only issue is on average 400+ emails are always visible in my deleted folder. When I try to delete a message it immediately returns. I cannot swipe delete anything from my junk file to the delete file I have to manually move it.
Mobile Outlook support is useless!!!!!!!

The app overall, is useful and would be even more so if you could perform simple customization or management of folders and other info. I created some folders, used them for a couple of years and moved their contents to Archive. I couldn’t find the method to delete the empty, no longer useful folders in the IOS app, so I went to the desktop main version of outlook and was able to delete them there. Ok, I thought to myself: it seems like a long round about way to edit your account for such a simple function, but I’ll give it a whirl and let the desktop and IOS versions of this same app sync up to reflect the changes made. Upon opening the IOS app the empty folders were still present and ever useless, taking up space on my info bar. This has to be the most ridiculous thing I’ve encountered since being hodgepodged into subscribing to Office 365 for the same annual price that its one time purchase price used to be. Even when I reached out to their online help chat, they seemed indifferent to this problem. It’s almost like if you rented a car, but bought your own air freshener with your own money but the rental company for some idiotic reason won’t let you remove the air freshener of your own purchasing from their rental vehicle. A goofy analogy for a goofy mistake laden product to be sure. Disappointed to say the least…..

In looking through other reviews, I noticed several, many, reviews that stated how bad the product was but that showed 5 star ratings. ????? It is frustrating to sit and wait several seconds to have my inbox loaded each time I select outlook on iOS. I have reviewed settings and see no correction for that. Am I downloading messages online each time data wise? When moving a message from inbox, it would be nice to have predictive folders shown as on the desktop. I have three major folders that get a lot of messages and it is a frustration to scroll all over each time. My spouse uses Apple Calendar on her phone and we have trouble she invites me on an appointment. I have tried to clear that up but can’t. I would prefer the calendar app to be separate from the email to use in separate windows. Handling and setting up groups for emails is frustrating on all platforms. As I am now retired, I have no great operational demands that Mail can’t handle so I might just go back to that. Dropping MS Office would certainly save some money. The app is not “Bad”, just adequate. Certainly, it is no joy to use but does not cause too much pain-except for that one group of about ten days of email that was lost. Never found those suckers. 🚀

Update: 9/13
Still simply adequate. I have approached my host to find out if I can move all mail from outlook to Mail.
