New Outlook - Unable to Block Image Downloads
Where in the new Outlook do I have the option to block the automatic loading of images for a Consumer O365 account or an Exchange account. In the current full version this is simple to do. In looking at the settings I can find no such option. What I can find is the setting to block external content, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. In the Exchange account I have it set like this Images are being blocked. I see this in the message. Where is this setting? In the consumer account I have it set to what would seem to be even more restrictive. However, all images are getting through. In OWA I have this option This is still not good enough, but why isn't it in the New Outlook as most settings seem to be the same for Outlook as OWA. To be clear MS, for me personally as well as the 25K+ corporate mailboxes I am responsible for will not use the new version until this is resolved.
"New Outlook" on Windows - Unable to add Additional Mailbox folders to the Favourites section
Hi, As per subject, I have changed over to the New Outlook on Windows and used to be able to pin folders from additional mailboxes (Shared mailboxes) to the Favourites section. This enabled me to view inboxes of multiple mailboxes without needing to constantly scroll down and check. The new version no longer gives that option and nests all additional mailboxes under 'Shared with me'.

Tips/resources on managing Shared Mailboxes in New Outlook?
Hello In the New Outlook Shared categories are no longer available on a Shared mailbox. At each and every client I have they rely quite heavily on shared mailboxes for client interactions. Shared categories are used to distribute work in the team and reach consensus on who follows up. This is no longer working in the New Outlook. This makes centralized external communications via Outlook impossible. For small organisations, other software used by corporates is often seen as overkill. Teams is not an option given the fact that there are known external users and unkown users that you want to enable to reach the organisation in a simple and friendly way (Forms are not seen as customer friendly, nor Chatbots) What solutions would you suggest?
