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)

    I had to create the new "General" folder, but then it worked perfectly, thank you.

    Thank you.

    I've had two near misses switching to that utterly terrible Outlook New, that regedit worked for my Outlook on 365.

    i understand that if you are using the 'windows mail' the suggestions will NOT work.

    my understanding is that windows mail i believe is prior to windows 10. maybe was in windows xp originally that when you upgraded through the years or even got a new pc windows mail was the norm.

    the new version sucks and you can't PERSONALIZE IT EITHER. you have a dark theme with standard colors or a light theme with standard colors

    What is your Outlook classic version? Look in File > Office Account. If you don't have the file tab, you are not using Outlook classic. (The key only works in Outlook classic.)

    If you have Outlook classic, try using the ready to use reg key I have on my site at Use Classic Outlook, not New Outlook (slipstick.com)
