Re: microsoft trying to push out the New Outlook to replace the classic in M365

Alt + Q provides a method to search for actions, words, and other functions. I now utilize this instead of navigating through menus, as it is considerably faster for me. In Outlook, if I recall correctly, the shortcut is Ctrl + E, not Alt + Q. It has been almost a year since I last used Outlook, so my memory might be somewhat unclear.

Thanks and happy Friday.

The most useful keystroke in the Office applications for me at least is ALT+Q for Search.

I think everything said here would apply to the Classic Outlook? for anyone using it the first time. I know when I started using it the first time, it was pretty overwhelming and there were some basic things that took me quite a while to figure out. I¡¯m still stumbling over new and useful features, even after using Outlook for around 10 years.

Hello Brian/all,

Although I have not used new outlook as it looks to me tedious and incomprehensible for a quick use of it, I am not one of those who will just keep being vociferous against it. However, I feel that there is a need for a scratch explanation and instructions for its use, in my case, related to jaws. Also, I am not aware of scripts facilitating such a use. Maybe, someone like David Kingsbury will reflect on this, but the thing is that I want to be able to see and act with my mail and folders quickly, not have to go forward and backward trying to understand what is going on. I am willing to learn, but want my comfort as well. For instance, I have two accounts and if I am thrown to the new outlook I do not seem to be able to detect them, just as an example. Not meant as criticism.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Cheers,

Meanwhile, any accessibility-related bugs in the New Outlook or in screen reader support (e.g., scripts) should be identified and reported, so they can be resolved before organizational users start encountering it as the default in 2026.

Indeed.? And the idea that bugs need to be reported, generally, applies.? Only when developers are made aware of issues, and their prevalence and impact in the user community, is there any hope of a fix and of accurate prioritization of making fixes.

?

One of the reasons I don't understand the constant advice to avoid New Outlook is the fact that you (any you) will eventually have to use it.? Right now you have the option of toggling back and forth, and that's incredibly handy for learning about what's coming without the trauma of a flash cut.? But that also means you can't toggle for 5 minutes and make a definitive declaration about anything new.

?

New Outlook was, without question, an accessibility nightmare in the preview stage.? That is simply no longer the case, and those who purport that it's inaccessible clearly have not worked with it, at all, recently, and I see that claim continuing to be made (though it was not here).
