Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
I tried this and it will not let me turn it on.
Spell check on "new" outlook does not work anymore when right clicking - change it back!

I mostly use only my keyboard to type, the dropdown option on the keyboard makes it extremely convenient to access the spell check options. This is a right click function, since changing it to left click this functionality has been lost.
Having to stop typing and using the mouse to left click every time is iritating and frankly a waste of time / disruptive. It makes no sense to change a function that has been a staple since the start of spellchecking without providing an option to change it back!!

You may ask it through "Help" and then "Support" of new outlook.

I hope it works in this time.
