I'm also wondering if the check box will be brought back. I've always done my shopping and used hotmail for all correspondence. I'm going to wait and see if it's brought back before changing the email on everything to a different one since it would be so time consuming. I just refuse to have to click extra times to get rid of something. I'm going to wait 30 days then leave hotmail behind if it's not corrected. I feel strongly about this. Change is not always good when it is more time consuming.
Does anyone else feel the same and are you going to switch if they leave it as is?

I see the Select checkbox when I log into https://outlook.live.com/ and press the Select icon above the messages in the Message View pane. Here's an image:

There is no information here indicating that Microsoft plans to restore the checkbox behavior permanently or on a specific timeline.
A currently documented workaround is to click the Select icon, shown as a box, at the right side of the folder name in the message list pane. That brings back the checkboxes for selecting messages.
If the concern is whether waiting 30 days will result in an announced fix, no such commitment is shown here.
