FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted October 1, 2016 FPCH Admin Posted October 1, 2016 I cannot stand the new Outlook.com. Does anyone else care for it? I may have to switch back to Yahoo.

FPCH Staff Tony D Posted October 1, 2016 FPCH Staff Posted October 1, 2016 Haven't tried the new Outlook until just now. I signed in with my MS account. No mail in the Outlook email. Clicked on getting started. It asked if I wanted to import contacts. I clicked Yes. It brought in my contacts. Problem is I don't know where it found them. That's scary. I think Outlook.com pulled addresses from my gmail account which was open at the time. Anyway, what is it you don't like about the new Outlook.com? Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted October 1, 2016 Author FPCH Admin Posted October 1, 2016 The text is gray now instead of black. There used to be a box next to every email in the inbox so that you could check it off for deletion. Now you have to hover over everything with your mouse in order for it to appear. That includes the ribbon with New, Delete, Archive, Junk, Move to etc. Quote ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
Bill M. Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Cindy, do you not have a gmail account? Why bother with Outlook at all? Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted October 1, 2016 Author FPCH Admin Posted October 1, 2016 I've had this Hotmail account for ten years. I don't want to give it up. I have never cared for the gmail user interface.

FPCH Staff Tony D Posted October 2, 2016 FPCH Staff Posted October 2, 2016 They should have kept the check boxes. Can you select several messages using the Shift or Cntl keys? These new developers have been doing away with black and moving to grey. I really don't like it. Makes it hard for the text to stand out. We had a guy speak at one of our Mac user group meetings. He said developers are doing this to make it 'softer' for the user. Just like they've made keyboard keys look like Chicklets. Remember them? Soft. nothing hard. 1 Quote
DSTM Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 I will stay with GMAIL. Had it for some years and used to it. Never had any security issues like Yahoo. Besides if it is in gray, I would never be able to read Outlook, anyway. 1 Quote Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm Schizophrenic, and so am I Free Photo Restoration and Repair for all Forum members - CLICK HERE Please pop back and let us know if your Computer problem has been solved.
