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)

    Thank you! Worked perfectly. I didn't mind it being on screen, but it is right next to the exit "X" and I accidentally clicked on it once. Fortunately, was able to recover. What a joke. Makes me think they do stuff like this on purpose.

    This is so annoying, every time I close down my MAC this comes up as a bright text line at the top of the Outlook main screen. How can you remove this on a MAC. I tried the New Outlook but lost all my calendar entries so had to revert back to the old version, luckily my calendar entries came back. Does anyone know how to stop this happening on a MAC as I have to re-load the old version every time. This is a ridiculous way of offering this, you have no option but to run it. There should be a simple do you want it or don't you. Microsoft you need to get a grip. I don't know anyone who likes this new version there are a lot of blips with it so as a paid user you should have the option to turn this off.
