Photos View
There used to be an images or photos folder on the side that showed you all the images in your emails all together in a collage of thumbnails.
It was a critical search feature to my work.
Now, I know I can click on the advanced search function and click the "photo pill" but that does not help at all.
Sure, it sorts out the emails that contain photos, but it does not display the images unless you click into each individual email, so you have no way of locating the picture you are looking for quickly or easily. You literally have to dig through your emails one by one instead of seeing all the images at once.
Why would you take this simple feature away? It is impossible to search for a particular photo without spending hours now.

What happen to the photo folder? It was nice to be able to look at all the photo's I had in emails.

There used to be a way of seeing all attachments and specifically pictures. Now I don't see any way to view that list in the new email version.

The new user interface is really bad. Not intuitive. Not easy to organize. Specifically, you used to be able to easily find all of your emails containing photos. The photos were viewable in gallery. Now, it's impossible to see which photos are in which emails unless you manually open each email to see what it contains...So dumb. It's embarrassing that you would downgrade your user experience this much.

I have come to depend on the site existing setting. This is not a good time for change for me.

Please bring back the Views option that helped keep your photos and documents organized and easy to find.

I had a page of photographs that I would click on the icon and the page would show up with these photos. It is gone. I use this for work, when an email comes in with a photo, it would transfer the photo in the email to this icon and I click on it, to view or send to someone else in a new email which could be 1 month later. I can not go back and search all the emails for these photos. Please bring this back!! What happened to my page of personal and business photos. I need those back right away!

Yes, we have shared with with our team and though we won't bring it back to the left hand column, we will make it looks very similar (like the old version) in the search box. Stay tuned!

There used to be an images or photos folder on the side that showed you all the images in your emails in a collage of thumbnails...if I use the new "improved" version, it requires extra steps, and I still cannot see all of the photos that were sent OR received in a straightforward folder

Hi Jennifer, thanks for your feedback. We are going to merge this into another thread as we are seeing more and more feedback asking about this. You can still search for emails with only photos in it... but yes it has moved. From your Inbox, in the search box at the top, you'll see the Advanced icon to the right. From there you can click on the Photos pill. We understand this is time consuming and not the same experience. We have shared this with the team and we are starting design work on improving this... so we appreciate the feedback and we are going to make it better like before. Thanks!

Hey Brian, thanks for the elaborate feedback. We really appreciate it. Glad you're reading the other threads, that really helps us out. We will certainly share this feedback with the team and see if it's something they will change or tweak. Thanks again and stay tuned!
