Please advise where I can find File and other toolbars such as Insert, Reference, etc in Outlook?. Currently I'm only seeing Home, View and Help toolbars.

Thank you,

Tina

    It's June 2023. I'm using 'New Outlook'. I know I can turn it off, but I thought I'd give it a go. It's far, far to simplified to be useful, so I've turned on as many of the 'advanced' features as I can. I still can't find a way to view the full header of an email. It was hidden poorly enough before, inside the 'File' menu option, but now the 'File' option is gone. This question asks where it has gone. The entire thread of responses is dominated by (1) Observations that the user must be using Outlook for the web (not true), and to switch to the desktop client. (2) Guidance that settings are available in the gear icon (true, but not an answer to the original question) and (3) suggestions to swtich back to proper Outlook (Again, an option, but not the question that was asked).

    As far as I can tell, at this point it is not possible to access the 'File' menu option in this 'New' version of the Outlook client. It may be possible to access mail headers in a different way, but if it is, I can't see it.

    The New Outlook - either Outlook Pre or Outlook on the web - does not have a File tab. If you want to use the old, good Outlook (which is much better at the moment) you need to turn off the new Outlook switch in the title bar. You can use both - pin Outlook Pre to the taskbar then turn it off and use the good one.

    Or type Outlook on the start menu and open it, not Pre. You want the Outlook that does not have Pre on the icon and lists the new items under the icon.

    I'm also looking for the File Tab/Menu, in particular, the following after selecting the File Tab:

    Open & Export

    Office Account

    In particular, Update and Update Options 
    

    Thanks.

    Hi Reynaldo,

    I'm using M365 business package.

    I think that I figured out what is the 'problem'. The thing is that an user cannot see all toolbars once the new Outlook launches, but when he opens an individual message.

    Regards,

    Tina
