Hey there!

Conditional formatting (allowing you to change fonts for unread messages for example) seems to be missing on the new outlook?

Any know a way around that?

Thanks!

    Well, looks like MS has forgotten the new Outlook, they keep trying to push it, but dont support it - very odd. Think its just going to end up as the replacement for "Mail" and we serious users will remain with "Classic" - is this their Coca-Cola moment?

    Cannot believe this doesn't exist. Changing back to the old outlook because of this. Cannot differentiate between unread and read.

    AS a visually impaired person, taking away the ability for me to conditional format is problematic.

    Normally when a UI is improved it is supposed to enhance the interface not make it harder to use. The new outlook has no real clear definition between each panel either. Please bring back all the feature for conditional formatting like being able to change the colour of the font for flagged messages. Or increasing the size of the font for unread messages.

    That open status only addresses conditional formatting for Messages. Nothing yet for calendars/meetings. :( Extremely disappointed in MS Development team for rolling out without this key functionality for users.
