Edited to add: Note that the registry key applies only to classic Outlook desktop software (2016, 2019, 2021, Outlook in Microsoft Office 365 software). It does not work for Windows Mail.

Hello Dennis

You're talking about the button in my screenshot? It's not a toolbar but you can hide it using a registry key -

Image

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\General
DWORD: HideNewOutlookToggle
Value: 1

Start typing regedit on the start menu and when the Registry Editor comes up, open it.

Browse to the path, right click on the right side and choose New > DWORD. Paste HideNewOutlookToggle, press enter then right click on it and choose modified and choose modify. change 0 to 1. \

Restart Outlook.

Edited to add: I have a ready-to-use registry key in my article at Use Classic Outlook, not New Outlook (slipstick.com)

    It works like a charm the first time!
    Thank you for this solution.

    P.S. Beware of creating a DWORD (a.k.a 32-bits), not a QWORD (aka. 64 bits)

    "do now is to install a reputable free third-party email client like eMClient" is limited on the free version or "Mozilla's Thunderbird." is extremely limited on free. your better off should you choose to get either one is to pay in order to get more functionality of these programs

    Hello, how can we remove the button to the new outlook interface on Outlook Express Version 16005.14326.21798.0 ? In registry i can't found HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office

    But i see :

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Outlook Express

    and when i enter a Dword32 with the name HideNewOutlookToggle and value 1 this don't work...

    Hi Cédric primes :

    What is your Windows operating system?

    Are you sure you mean Outlook Express, and not the Mail and Calendar UWP (Microsoft Store) app built in to Win 10 / Win 11? I have a Win 10 OS and Settings | Apps | Apps and Features shows I currently have Mail and Calendar v16005.14326.21798.0. Note that I don't use the built-in Mail and Calendar app; I use use the Outlook 2019 program included with my Microsoft Office 2019 suite as my email client.

    Image

    The Wikipedia article Outlook Express notes that Outlook Express was discontinued several years ago and dates back to the Win XP era on computers with Internet Explorer 3.x through 7.x. Outlook Express was replaced several years ago by Windows Mail in Windows Vista.

    If you have a Win 10 or Win 11 OS OS and use the built-in Mail and Calendar app (i.e., not the Microsoft Outlook program that comes with paid versions of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Office 2016 / 2019 / 2021) then Diane Poremsky's suggested registry edit to remove the "Try the new Outlook" switch won't work and there's little you can do now to stop the forced migration to the "new" Outlook PWA (Progressive Web App) - see the June 2023 How-To Geek article The New Outlook for Windows Will Arrive for Everyone in 2024 and July 2023 BleepingComputer article Microsoft Force-Migrating Windows Mail & Calendar Apps to Outlook App in August.

    If you currently use the Mail and Calendar app and don't want to be forced to use the "new" Outlook PWA (and don't want to pay for an email client like the Microsoft Outlook program included with Microsoft 365 and "perpetual" editions of Microsoft Office 2016 / 2019 / 2021) then you can use a reputable free third-party email client like eM Client or Mozilla's Thunderbird.
