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??

    Dear Paul Beatrice

    Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you!

    Based on your description, I have a general understanding of your problem, please first kindly try to transfer to New outlook for Mac and then check the result if you are using classic outlook for Mac. If you still need help, please kindly try to create a new profile, and add your account to the new profile and check if the same error still occurs, in this process to prevent you from losing important data, please also kindly try to back up your data in advance, thank you.

    If your problem persists, since we specialize in technical support for Microsoft 365 Business Exchange Online, which is not professional for the Outlook for Mac, in order to better help you and no longer waste your more time. I recommend that you ask for help from our dedicated team, where technical engineers specialize in these related issues, and experts will focus on inquiries to further assist you, for details, please kindly refer to: Contact support within Outlook for Mac

    Thanks in advance for your understanding! Your patience and cooperation will be highly appreciated. Hope you all the best!

    Sincerely,

    My version comes from the company so not sure I can update that.

    The bigger issue is this was working fine until a week ago max with no changes that I'm aware of.

    Also 3 colleagues - same version, works properly for 1 but not for me and the other.

    I think what will resolve this issue for you is found in the "Outlook" Menu at the top.

    You'll probably find that the users not seeing the shortcuts where they were once located will have "New Outlook" checked in the menu.

    Remove that check/selection. Outlook will close and re-open instantly and your view should be restored.

    I hope that helps.

    Exactly. I am already using 'New Outlook' but the icons swapped from bottom left to the side and it doesn't seem to be user-configurable. I don't actually want to revert the view just move those short cuts back to where they were. Guess I will just have to get used to them.

    I am having the same issue since the recent Profiles update in the last few days. This extra sidebar is taking up valuable reading space on a laptop screen!
