Outlook Mac, how to move mail/cal/people icons from side back to bottom

Anonymous

I, and 3 colleagues, are all on the same version of Outlook for Mac (16.71.2).

For two of us the icons for Mail, Calendar, and People are on the side. The 3rd person has them (where I always used to find them) at the bottom.

I have searched everywhere but cannot figure out how to get them to the bottom again.

Thoughts??

    not sure if you found a fix but I managed to find out:

    In the Help menu, click the Clear Application Data menu item, then check Experimental Features box and finally click the Clear button:

    this will revert it back to how it was

    Hi there, I mean with the new version of Outlook, there is no longer a general inbox email count at the bottom of the pane. In the old Outlook, you could always see how many emails were in your main inbox (read or unread) currently this is not a feature in the new version, however, if you hover over the 'Inbox' folder, it shows how many emails are there.

    When I tried the tip to move calendar and inbox to the bottom of the screen, it worked. BUT it removed the feature of allowing you to hover over the inbox and see email count, so I reverted back.

    Hope this makes sense?

    aware we're heading into a side bar here :) - on Windows you can alt+tab through all open windows regardless of applciation - so if I wanted to get to that email message I'd just keep hitting alt+tab until it popped up no matter which application I was in. That's what I liked - simple and fast. One command repeated.

    In Mac cmd&tab only allows to flick between applications so you have cmd+tab to get to the right application and then stop (before you go to far) & change command to flick between the open windows in that application. It's slower - especially when you're working on different keyboard layouts at home and in the office. (I've even resorted to right clicking on each open application in the Dock and then selecting the relevant window - again much slower - but your cmd+number does help).

    Anna,

    Are you saying you can't see a total email count or an unread count?

    I don't ever remember seeing a total count in the sidebar but the unread count still appears even when I move the icons back to the bottom.

    You may have to "grab" the edge of the sidebar and open it up a little bit to see the unread count again.
