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

    Toolbars are victims of Microsoft managers who think they know what their customers want. To print an email, for example, click the 3 dots at top right. There's a drop-down that said managers hope contains the functions that satisfy your needs. You are now a beta tester! If Outlook does not satisfy your functional requirements, you might want to try Thunderbird. It's free and it works. I'm ditching Outlook. Cloud-based email doesn't meet my needs and especially internet access availability.

    See You can't open classic Outlook on a new Windows PC - Microsoft Support. They have a link to download outlook. Apparently, especially on new computers, Outlook is not being preinstalled with office. Suspect reinstalling windows has the same effect.

    New Outlook doesn't have that specific option - but other settings are in the View tab > View settings.

    New Outlook is Outlook on the web in an app framework - you have the same options and settings in it that you have in new Outlook.

    Changes like removing the functionalities of the File Menu completely break use cases that have been very helpful for several years.

    Has Microsoft determined to abandon these important functionalities?

    Or, was an incomplete product released that will have these important features added back in the future?

    Or, have I installed the wrong product?

    Or, ....?

    Thank you,

    Dave

    Hi Tina Šimunić

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community forum. I hope you're doing well.

    Based on your description, it seems to be that you need help on where to find the File tab and other toolbars in the Outlook application. Let's work together to find the best solution to this problem.

    I would like to ask you some questions to better understand the problem;

    • Can I find out the exact product information of your Office program? Is it Microsoft 365 Family/Personal or Business? See this article for instructions: About Office: What version of Office am I using? - Microsoft Support
    • Is this your first time using the Outlook application?
    • Can you provide us a photo or screenshot of the Outlook application icon you are using on your computer? I am suspecting that you are using the new Outlook, so I need to further verify.

    I look forward to your reply.

    Sincerely

    ReynaldoB
