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)

I have this problem in Windows 10 mail. how to remove this toggle from it altogether?

Hi fahadQL:

According to the MS support article Outlook for Windows: The Future of Mail, Calendar, and People on Windows 11 :

"Support for Windows Mail, Calendar, and People will end on December 31, 2024. We're currently in the process of moving existing users to the new Outlook for Windows. After December 31, 2024, users will no longer be able to send and receive email using Windows Mail and Calendar*. Any local emails, calendar events, and contacts stored in Mail, Calendar, and People will remain exportable following the steps in* Export emails and contacts from Windows Mail or People and import to new Outlook".

As far as I know that 31-Dec-2024 end-of-life date applies to Windows 10 as well, so now would be a good time to start looking for a new email client. The feedback I've heard about the new Outlook for Windows progressive web app (PWA) that is replacing Mail and Calendar has been generally negative so far, so I'd suggest you try a third-party application like Thunderbird **** or eM Client instead. I haven't tried either myself (I use the "classic" MS Outlook 2019 that came with my MS Office 2019 suite), but Thunderbird and eM Client are both popular choices of users posting in the Email Clients (Non-Microsoft) board of the AskWoody.com forum. Just be aware that the free edition of eM Client is limited to a maximum two accounts. See Nick Lafferty's 28-May-2024 7 Best Email Clients For Windows: Free and Paid for a review of both products.

Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.5131 * Firefox v133.0.3 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24090.11-1.1.24090.11 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.2.3.156-1.0.5108 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783 * Microsoft Office Home and Business 2019 C2R Version 2410 / Build 18129.20158
