    Thankfully there's no going back to the old front end it's only forward to the new and improved front end!

    Check out the config options available to you in the Settings menu (gear icon in upper right)

     I actually already have Gmail and Yahoo email addresses, just in readiness for this catastrophic event!

    Better watch out Google just changed Gmail's front end as well! 

    Here's how you can close your account once you're done with it

    Hi Bev... I wasn't the one who mentioned 'Production', but all that means is that it will eventually progress from the Beta (testing) stage to the ongoing production (standard) stage. Even though so many people, like us, despise the new (presently Beta) version, it seems it will eventually become standard. I actually already have Gmail and Yahoo email addresses, just in readiness for this catastrophic event!

    Thank you! The slider solved my problem and I was able to get back to the old version of Outlook. This is the version I like. I didn't like the Beta at all. You mentioned that soon everyone will have the new interface which is no longer Beta but Production. What is Production and when will this take place?  If I don't like Production, I will transfer to GMail.  Everyone I know is on GMail. I have been with Hotmail and then Outlook for a very long time. Make Production simple and easy or people will switch elsewhere. Thank you again for your help. Please respond about what Production will be.

    Thanks again,

    Bev
