Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity
It's truly a step back into the past! This serves as a prime example that not all updates are improvements.
For those who, like me, are struggling, I've found a workaround that comes close to solving the issue.
In the top right corner, near the X, there's a small calendar icon (next to the bell symbol).
Clicking this icon opens a list of all upcoming events in chronological order, which is scrollable.
Positioning this next to a static calendar provides a reasonably good overview of upcoming events and the current date.
Additionally, when used on an ultra widescreen, you can always have your calendar visible while browsing your inbox.
