The basic rules/filtering functionality works well enough for me (I don't get too advanced), the only hassle is setting them up I suppose
Flags disappear, reappear, and the # of flags change with no changes by me.
I need consistency across OS’s so I no longer use flags.
I’m have a premium Outlook account(Office 365) setup as Exchange on my Mac and use native iOS apps on my iPhone.
The 📆 works/syncs perfect on MacOS and iOS.

A redesign does not mean a fully flaweless working version, it will probably just look different...
So it looks like it was enabled for me today and I tried it. I had to go back to the old version immediately due to the fact that I have a particular distribution group that I use weekly and the new version doesn't support People just yet. It's buggy, as expected, but it's an interesting design change. Looks a little more like Apple Mail to me, which I refuse to use.
Reading some of these comments makes me feel better. I was driving myself crazy because some emails don't show up when I search for them on my Mac, while they do appear on Windows. Clearly I am not the only one have this problem.

My life would be a smidgeon easier if I could integrate iCloud calendar in Outlook. Incredibly frustrating you cannot do this.
I was waiting patiently for the toggle to appear. It turns out you need to go to Help > Try the new Outlook. This enables the new Outlook and the toggle switch.
I use Outlook for Mac for work email / contacts / calendars and think it’s pretty good. Certainly better than the native email app.
However, I still use Apple iCloud for personal email / contacts / calendars. I’d like to add all of this to Outlook for Mac but its still NOT possible to sync iCloud calendar with Outlook for Mac. Which is frankly ridiculous. There is nothing in this new release that seems to fix that oversight. And the workaround suggested by MS (to share a iCloud public calendar link via Outlook for Web) simply does not work. So now I’ve decided to switch back to Google calendar for my personal calendar so that I can see all of my work and personal appointments in the Outlook calendar.
Why is trying to maintain all work and personal accounts (mail / contacts / calendar) such a pain in the **** generally? I’d prefer to use Outlook for Mac as my one place to manage it all as I spend most of my working day in Outlook so it would be easier. Should I switch away from iCloud and back to google for everything personal (I only switched everything to iCloud a year ago so it would be a pain).
