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!!

sue Microsoft for breaking your business productivity by forcefully changing business applications you paid for?
It's awful-it feels like a nasty, lightweight webapp that seems to have zero commonality with the Windows 11 UI. Customisation options are bad as well. It was fine up until they decided to break it...and seems less feature-rich and intuitive than the existing version, which feels like a true native applications. Now the existing application seems to have crashing problems. Surprise, surprise-forcing people to use this new junk. Sort it out, Microsoft!

I agree. This version is utter ****. My paid for Office 365 version shut down and this was the only link as my.pinned Outlook app disappeared from being pinned. It limited my emails. I could not.find my old emails and there was no apparent way to change it. What are.you guys thinking?
Fortunately in was able to fins the link again to the real app. You need to throw this version away.
