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)

    If the path does not exist, you need to create it. But that is the standard path for Outlook desktop software - what version of Outlook are you using?

    I tried this registry key value and it solved the issue of having the Hide New Outlook Toggle. I like having the option to change this setting in the registry so I can have a few users test the new Outlook while everybody else does not get this option.

    Thx Diane. I followed the steps you outlined, but when I chose New>DWORD, I get no response. What am I doing wrong?

    Can anyone confirm a working (regedit or otherwise) solution for THE MAIL APP, not legacy Outlook? The "New Outlook" is obviously toss (albeit it does have certain potential) and forcing the toggle down our throat is a typical MS disgrace.
