That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

I do not believe anyone at Microsoft actually uses it because if they did there's no way in hell that they would have let it be that bad.

It literally keeps every single conversation you've ever had in a big long list on the left, with absolutely no way to organize it, categorize it, order it, or in any way manage it other than deleting history, that's it you can delete history.

But you can pin any chat and you can reorder any pinned chat (and maybe even non-pinned ones - I haven't checked).

But only 15. Yeah, I hit that limit regularly. I just want to put things in folders. That would be a major improvement.

Wouldn't the folder structure kind of defeat the purpose of the messenger vs mail?

Not when you’re expected to use it as a texting/messenger device for work. I have so many threads and DMs through it that I truly need to make it more organized. I’m not alone.

I think when I said stuff you weren’t thinking of threads and chats but that’s what I meant. Apologies.

I mean, when you need to operate chats via folder structure, wouldn't it make Оutlook out of it?
