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)

If you have the new Outlook button in my screenshot in the first reply, you have a version that the registry key would work with.

How do i achieve something similar in MacOS. I have notificiation on my outlook saying the new version will launch after restart. I really don't want the new version because i tried it out sometime ago and i realised i could not set up rules to move messages to different folders based on certain conditions. I can't work without such a feature, no way.

Kindly assist in getting rid of the new outlook altogether. i don't need that.

Do you get that bar every time you switch back to the legacy outlook?

Offhand, I don't think you can disable it on the mac - but I'm constantly switching back and forth and newer see it in the legacy version.

I tried this: Note that u may have to create New->Key “General” under HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \Office \ 16.0 \ Outlook \ Options\

I did not find this part anywhere \16.0 \ outlook \ option\

So guess i am screwed and stuck with that stupid notification.

If you are not able to find the path or it is not working for you it could be because when you run regedit you are using a different user account with admin rights (it asks you for a user name and password). Running regedit as a different user will change who the current user is. 2 Options to get past this, the 2nd option is best.
1. If this is the case go down to "HKEY_USERS" and look in the different locations. One of the longer set of numbers is your user account (S-#-#-##-#######-###...). If there is more then one just look in each of them until you find one with the path. If more than one person uses the computer you may have to do it in multiple places.
2. You can also use CMD (Command Prompt) to add the registry to the current user without admin rights (do not run as administrator). Copy the following command into CMD.
REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\ /f /v HideNewOutlookToggle /t REG_DWORD /d 1
