TL;DR don't use infinite scroll because your users can't find the footer.
Office 365's Outlook Web uses infinite scroll for listing emails, and the thing I hate about it is as you're scrolling down, it removes things from the DOM at the top. So if you want to delete a ton of emails from a service that went wonky and spammed you over the weekend, you can't click the top and shift click the bottom, because by the time you reach the bottom, the top message is gone.
- bigger_cheese 8y agoThe Outlook desktop now client does it as well. I am not sure if it is exchange setting or something else. If I scroll to the end of a folder containing mail it tells me "There are more items in this folder". I have to click for it to fetch more items. I have years of email archived in various folders and it hides the results for every single folder behind this wall of "there are more items". Because of this I can't search through my archived email properly. It never used to work with way. I think it changed when my organisation migrated to Office 365.
