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 -

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)

You need to use DWORD.

I have DWORD (32-bir) and QWORD (64-bit). My system of Windows is ^4-bit. Does it matter which bit I choose?

No can do. First off, there's no such thing as Office\16.0\Outlook version for me, and if I use the only one that has Outlook in it (10.0) with an Options\General key wherein I can create a new DWORD "HideNewOutlookToggle" and set the flag to 1, it does exactly nothing. The switch in Mail stays where it is.

But if these schmucks think I'm a brain-amputated test monkey and they can force their "force-save-all-their-comms-in-our-cloud" horseshite onto me anyway to facilitate the centralisation of all MS customer email communications, then by 2024 I'll just holler a hearty "Shove yer **** where the sun don't shine, and I certainly don't mean London!".... I'm out of here and will get rid of MS OS altogether. W10 was the last OS for me anyway, the next thing I'm getting rid of will be Mail, ahem, 2024 Outlook.

Doesn't even deserve the name when I think back of our ol' Outlook that they ripped out of the latest Windows versions, those bastards making our virtual lives and data protection ever more uncomfortable, as if for trained, brain-damaged test monkeys, eh? But count me out, MS, count me out!

This new popup is so incredibly aggressive and infuriating to have rolled out this early. i tried the new Outlook and it's such a poor replacement for the simple mail app, i truly cannot understand the reasoning for the change.

does anyone have a registry edit to get rid of the pop up in the standard mail app? i'll be migrating to Thunderbird after new year because the new outlook sucks but, in the meantime, i'm busy with year end work and the pop-up is so large and distracting and inescapable, i'm taking the time out of one of the busiest work weeks of my year to hopefully get rid of it.
