> 1. You can't run all the rules on your inbox to sweep the piled up email after a weekend reboot. No such option while it is still present in the legacy native Outlook.

I'm not sure what you mean. I have rules running regularly to move messages around, delete messages older than X in some folders. It all runs fine. Maybe there are some other kinds of rules I'm not aware of? But I do remember that back when "old outlook" was still the main thing, I needed to be running for the rules to apply, which meant that interacting with a different client was always... funny.

> 2. You have no option of deleting an entry in your calendar without sending a decline

Could this be a config flag somewhere? I've just run a test and invited my MS account from a personal mailbox. On the event, once accepted, there are two separate actions: decline and delete. I've received the "accepted" mail, but haven't received anything after "deleting" the event.

1. You can run selective rules, but when you have a whole bunch, running all is more sensible.

2. When you select a slot in the calendar screen and press delete, the only options you get are cancel and decline.

All this is applicable for the PWA. The native client works fine.

I don't understand what you mean by your first point.

The delete button I was talking about is in Outlook running in a browser: https://i.imgur.com/k4ejdw4.png

Pressing the delete key on my keyboard brings this up: https://i.imgur.com/SBVkpVf.png

Clicking delete doesn't send any notification to the other side, where this account still shows as having accepted the invite (the other side is a different Office 365 organization).

That is interesting. I'm using the PWA on Linux - I can't share a screenshot but basically pressing the delete key shows two buttons: Cancel and Decline Event? - I don't get the Delete option like you do.
