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)

    my sentiments exactly. here here...

    Microsoft are you completely insane? You, by removing access to Outlook Data files are like the automotive industry trying to remove gasoline powered vehicles. You are not welcome in my house if you continue to do such idiotic things. Fire the person who suggested this.

    That only works if you are using a corporate mailbox with policies applied.

    So that registry key setting does work.

    BUT

    BUT

    BUT

    You need to open regedit, or if you use powershell you need to pen powershell, as yourself. Not as an elevated admin account. You don;t need admin permissions to set the registry key.

    Course my next problem is how to do this on hundreds of desktops. I don't think MS have an answer for that.
