I used the cascade windows function to manage my work especially in outlook where after a day of multitasking I needed to clean up the open threads. Cascade organized all my open emails and let me decide in an organized manner where things needed to go in an great workflow. I've tried to make the snap layouts fx work for me and it's just not going to do it.

    This is sorely missed and really frustrates responsiveness after a day of many open email. I thought I had it fixed by following this: "right-click the taskbar and select "Cascade windows" from the menu that pops up. All of your non-minimized windows will be instantly organized into a cascading diagonal stack, one on top of the other, with each window at a uniform size"

    I literally have about 20 messages open and they did not get included- I think because they were minimized. So I had to click on every message in order to not have it minimized then when I clicked on cascade it worked to cascade them. Still a pain to accomplish but better than noting to help me be more efficient with email. Please MS help us manage our busy days faster with small wins like cascading email messages. :)
