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)

    I could not agree with you more.... you said it all... IT IS THE WORST! It does suck!

    "The WORST part of this is, I DID try the new outlook. It sucks. It has no unified inbox. The calendar doesn't support holidays. It's inferior to the Windows 10 mail and calendar app in almost every way.

    What's worse is, it's not just a toggle button that you can accidentally hit anymore...

    NOW it's a big animated advertisement in your face every time you open Mail. "

    WOW I DID NOT SEE THAT. BUT WOW THEY ARE REALLY BEING PUSHY AND PUSHING CUSTOMERS TO MAC/APPLE ANY THING BUT THIS.

    I tried it, I said I didn't like it. I went back to the version I did like. NOW it bothers me even more than it did before... Just stop.

    Microsoft is a dictatorship. they don't care about us the customers.  all they care about is the money in their pocket. forcing all to conform is wrong. even when they spout out 'you can personalize your desktop etc.' NOT TRUE, yeah personalize to what they want you to have!

    I'M LOOKING INTO OTHER MAIL PROGRAMS AND CALENDARS BUT MOST ALL APPEAR TO BE LIKE MICROSOFT. CHANGE IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD OR FOR THE BETTER.

    I did further research. I had already dumped all I could relating to Outlook. Ask Microsoft says; (to another user)

    The reg fix only works on the box in Outlook - as far as I know, there is not a way to disable in it in the mail app, but will ask.
