When your in an email, there are usually up and down arrows top right on the page, allowing me to scroll to the next/previous email...

They aren't there today, is this a glitch or have Microsoft once again updated the look of Outlook and removed a REALLY useful feature???

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For home

    I tried. There's no web chat (Microsoft don't have a web chat option) and the helpline is a premium-rate telephone number - yes, they actually want to make a profit from customers calling looking for help and advice. I did email them but they clearly could not be bothered to reply.

    Tbh, I think I might just change over to Gmail or Yahoo. I've had a Hotmail address for years but I don't think it will actually be that much of a rigmarole to change, so might just bite the bullet.

    How to get support for Outlook.com

    If you can sign in & click help upper left

    1. Enter your question or issue in the Search Help box on the right, and then press Return.
    2. If the self-help answers don't resolve your issue, try a different search, or scroll to the bottom of the Help pane and, under Still need help?, select Yes.

    Mine updated again to have the option of a "simplified" or "classic" ribbon.

    The classic ribbon is not the original options layout.

    I use the website version because I HATE the layout of tiles on the app. I find them inaccessible, poorly laid out and confusing.

    Up and down arrows was far easier to find and process in my brain than "Previous" and "Next" hidden in a bunch of other words.

    BRING BACK THE PREVIOUS DESIGN AND LEAVE IT ALONE, OR MAKE THESE UPDATES OPTIONAL

    Thanks for this. However, where is search help? There is ask the community a question on the right and I have found a search bar that does allow me to chat with an "expert" but that is just for buying new products. Yes, they are happy to chat when they're trying to sell you something but it's incredibly hard to chat if you have an issue to resolve.

    What an absolute unnecessary farse.
