New Outlook mode - Light/Dark background setting

Where can I find the below setting when I'm in the "New Outlook" mode:

If you prefer, you can disable dark mode so that the message window is always white when using the black theme. The icons to switch dark mode on or off are disabled when you disable dark mode.

  • In Outlook, go to File > Options.
  • On the General page, look for Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office.
  • Set the Office Theme to Black and select the check box next to Never change the message background color.
  • Select OK.

Thx

    You need to re-read the instruction. No one mentioned file in New Outlook.

    There is no "File" button in the new Outlook. So, this instruction is NO HELP!

    I am curious whether some of those accounts may not be compatible with the new Outlook.
