Conditional Formatting in Outlook 2023

Question

I cannot find conditional formatting in the new Outlook for 2023. I liked having the option of changing the format of incoming messages to a certain color or font based on the sender or where it was being emailed to. Does this feature not exist in the new Outlook anymore, or am I missing where to do that?

Hi @BODENSTAB Kristina ,

I'm sorry that brought you a bad experience, Conditional Formatting is currently not supported in New Outlook for Windows, and this work is in progress and will be available in the future.

The new Outlook is not yet complete and some options may not be available or work as expected, we recommend you stay in the classic Outlook until they are resolved, or you can switch the toggle to go between apps as often as you want.

Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future. Microsoft collected this feedback, and you can also vote via this Conditional formattting support

I had a similar question but regarding the Calendar event condiftional formatting (using keywords in the body of the invite to categorize/color events). Now all of my appointments are the same color, which makes it very hard to get a grip on the type of meetings that are upcoming without opening each event and reading what it's about.
