Or at least the Outlook portion.
The way it does threaded messaging is horrible. It is way to easy to view the latest new message in a thread without seeing other new messages. Then, if you click away, the entire thread is changed to read! Plus the search function only pulls up threads not individual messages such that if I search for one sending it tells me that somewhere is this long thread of messages is a message from them without going straight to their message!

In a totally different way I hate our IT. That is classified as security and I can't follow your link.

It's the process to change when a thread is marked as Read.
Here it is without all the pretty pictures.

By default, the Outlook Web App marks items as read when viewed in the Reading Pane whenever the selection changes. You can turn this functionality off, or have Outlook wait a certain amount of time before marking the item as read.
1. Go to Office 365 and login to your account.
2. Select Outlook from the menu at the top of the page to access the Outlook Web App.
3. Go to the upper-right corner of the page. Beneath your name, click Options and select See All Options.
4. In the left pane, select Settings.
5. If you wish to prevent the Outlook Web App from automatically marking items as read when viewed in the Reading Pane, select the Don’t automatically mark items as Read radio button.
To set the Outlook Web App to wait a certain amount of time before marking the item as read, select the Mark the item displayed in the Reading Pane as Read radio button and input the desired amount of seconds into the textbox. I use 30 seconds as the value. This allows me to manage my time reading emails, letting me review emails and leave the longer ones for a later time.
6. Click Save at the bottom of the page to save your changes.

Re: I now hate Office 365
outlook on mobile blows, but the regular outlook I don't have many issues with. is there even an alternative that anyone uses?

Re: I now hate Office 365
I had to turn off the automatic grouping by conversation/thread. Just not how I like to work. I do use the reading pane a lot and the 'mark as read' functionality, but since I don't group messages, I've never had the issue of reading one message marking the rest as read.
