I have been trying to run the "NEW" outlook for a few months now. It is SOOO frustrating to use as commands and functions have just been deleted. Adding files to an email has become a chore and now requires extra steps! I DON'T want to send a link; I want to send the file itself... it is so confusing.
Viewing an attachment becomes a whole new experience as it doesn't open the app related to the file type but leads you down more complicated corridors. Saving attachments is also time consuming as it saves it (unless you are careful) in some sort of folder on One Drive.
I run three accounts (corporate, outlook.com and gmail.com) on mail plus I monitor a few shared folders as well. What used to be simple is now a real chore! Want to change how often in checks for mail... forget it. want to change the functions when it goes to get the mail. Completely disappeared.
Switching back to the "old version" froze the application as it could not update the Outlook account. It is a real tragedy that we seem to have to accept this as the "only" version soon. I am already looking around for alternatives. I have now reverted back to "OLD" and fixed the problem with mail. I have send a note to the organization to NEVER try and load this cut down version... it is a terrible replacement.
Come on Microsoft, you can do better than this.... or is it impossible!!
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

The EU has started fining big Tech! £1.8bn to Apple over Spotify.
The ordinary Joes are fighting back!!!!
There are no Intune profiles to manage it, and old outlook2016 profiles doesn't work. The app has terrible interface and missing fucntions like proper "categories" handling. We cannot manage it right now for our users....
I agree totally with the comments of the other "NEW" Outlook users who viscerally HATE IT!. With MS moving more and more toward the SAS subscription model and bundling Outlook with Office 365 package, it has significantly "dumbed down" what was a very reliable, functional product in the classic OUTLOOK to a dysfunctional, awkward to use disappointing experience.
I have filled out their pointless feedback page numerous times and only get more frustrated each time.
I am actively looking for a good alternative for the "New Outlook." Suggestions anyone???
Having the same irritating problem!
I have been trying to run the "NEW" Outlook as well and we use it for business. Nothing about this works for a business. I can't copy and paste and put the information in my contacts for referrals when I have to go back to look up something. You have to go into the new email that you're creating by going out and then going back in and save it as a draft then you can attach things to it. I can't even copy and paste an email without doing that. Also the calendar does not have a system for reminders and so I got written up at work because I didn't show up to a meeting unaware that my reminder was not there anymore, I just figured that out.
Please give the businesses the option to be able to go back to the old program for Outlook as it worked perfectly for us. Thank you for listening.
hate hate hate this new version of outlook. saving or printing attachments totally unwieldy.
