Select all in New Outlook

Very unhappy.. I loved that I could select all with one click, scan the list and uncheck the emails that mattered and the one click remove all the garbage that I did not sign up for. Not sure how anyone would thing the new changes are a time saver. I like Outlook, but am not married to it, will replace it if it continues to be "improved" with less than efficient processes.

Hi YM,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I understand that it can be inconvenient when a familiar feature, such as the Select All checkbox, is no longer available in the New Outlook experience. 

Based on my testing, New Outlook no longer includes the traditional Select All checkbox above the message list. Instead, you can select all emails in the current folder or view by: 

• Clicking the Select option above the message list and choosing the available selection options. 
• Pressing Ctrl + A on your keyboard to select all emails in the current folder/view. 

I truly appreciate you sharing your feedback because your issue is thoughtful, practical, and reflects a real need that many users likely share. Ideas like this play an important role in improving the product experience. 

To ensure your voice reaches the right team, I highly encourage you to submit your feedback directly through the Outlook (new) · Community portal. This is the most effective way to ensure your voice reaches the product team and can be considered for future improvements.
