Hi Everyone,

We apologize for the inconvenience if you didn't like the new Outlook interface and that you don't have the option to switch back to Hotmail interface.

I can only imagine how frustrating you are that the option was disabled. We always welcome useful ideas to improve services Microsoft offers to its customers. If you like, you can go to our feedback page and post it as  a suggestion.

You may also check this helpful article, **My Hotmail account was upgraded to Outlook.com** to have more ideas about the upgrade.

Note: This thread has been locked.

Thank you.

    Are you using your iPad's browser?  That, indeed, could be the problem.  Try creating an Exchange ActiveSync account within the iPad mail app.  Perhaps that will look better to you.

    I HATE the new outlook. Everyone please get together and bring that outlook B.S down.

    I can't block a person that is harassing me. Therefore leading to email change and resume change. And it's extremely annoying. All because they FAILED.... Outlook thumbs down and a half.

    Hi everyone,

    I actually understand what you feel about the situation, however Outlook.com is just an upgrade of the Hotmail.com and there will be no changes will occur in the said new interface, which mean all information contacts and messages will remain intact.

    You may switch back to the old interface if just in case you want to, please refer to the steps below:

    1. Sign in to your account
    2. Click the gear icon located on the upper right corner of your account interface.
    3. Choose switch back to hotmail.
    4. Skip feedback.

    If the issue still persists please let us know.

    Thanks!

    I'm afraid you are not able to return to the old page permanently. Microsoft is replacing Hotmail with Outlook, so eventually all Hotmail accounts are permanently migrated. If the option to return to Hotmail is not available in the settings menu, you are not able to return to Hotmail.

    I think you should see icons on the iPad also, but I'm not sure as I don't have an iPad myself.
