Yes, I sorta noticed that but have ignored the issue hoping it would eventually
go away. There is a way to give feedback and this would be a good issue to
provide issues to Microsoft.
I have sometimes found that I can type in the folder list, but as soon as the
folder changes focus / VoiceOver moves to the message list. Also, there is some
inconsistency with expand/colaspe sub-folders and a unlabeled icon with each
folder name.
I will say there has been some improvements in Outlook in the last six months
though in terms of its interactions with VoiceOver. I guess I am a little wary
of submitting bug reports to Microsoft because I am running an older Operating
System but the fast insider build of MS Office.
