How to get rid of a new tab on Outlook upper tool bar stating: Try the new Outlook. It recently popped up & replaced my "delete" tab, which is now inside the scroll down menu.

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)

    Thanks for responding. Outlook came with 365 I tried it but preferred the less cluttered look of Mail which is what I use but it still has the same problem of the intrusive command to try the new Outlook. It would be helpful if I could reorder the buttons across the top so that the "Delete" button is visible but I haven't discovered how to do that.

    I have another problem with Mail though which is that after some time it will become unresponsive to links within messages. The reset and reinstall options don't work, the only thing that does it to restart the machine then it will be fine for a day or two. Do you have any suggestions for that?

    Thanks

    I did all that and it was already set to 1. Still there.

    Downloaded a legal and licensed copy of Office 2019 Home and Office. The only sub-topics I have under "Options" are Calendar, Mail and MSHTML.

    Dos one have to add a placeholder "General" sub-topic? If so what are its attributes?
