    Hey @Outlook we use you for work and all my colleagues and I run into this very annoying bug where you will reply to someone, it stops the typing cursor as if you clicked away and when you press space it will archive the e-mail chain. Can you please fix ASAP? thanks.

    Microsoft @Outlook is beyond broken. I accidentally wrote a wrong email ID (external) which failed to deliver. Now, I am trying to send it to the correct id, but outlook keeps "correcting" me to the wrong one. No intuitive way to bypass this. This has to be a joke or something.
