How do I move the task bar (has apps: mail, tasks, calendar, etc.) back to the bottom of the screen? Is this called the task bar? I can't figure out how to restore the settings. See picture.

    In the top right of the screen, you can turn off Coming Soon to get the navigation bar back to the bottom.

    The new left rail that you are seeing will be the default soon so if you can make it work, please try and use it in the new location. This article explains the direction and rationale, New location for key functions and direct access to other Microsoft 365 apps in Outlook (office.com).

    Hi, Alec.

    I'm Jen, I'm also an Outlook user just like you. I'm not working for Microsoft but I'd be happy to help you figure this out.

    Did you make recent changes like installing an update before this happened? Please try clicking the Folder pane icon then in the drop-down menu select Options > uncheck the box next to Compact Navigation.

    Feel free to share how it went.

    Kind regards.

    I did turn on and off "Coming Soon" and restart the oulook. Then it back to normal.
