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.
Thx

When I switched over to the New Outlook, this was the first thing that I noticed. I wanted the Dark Theme but I want the message area to be light. So why would Microsoft remove the option to keep the email message white. From what I can see, this is a popular feature that people want.
You didn't answer his actual question. We want both want the new Outlook to use the Dark Theme, but we ALSO want the message area to NOT use Dark Theme. In the old Outlook, there was an option for "Never change the background color." This did exactly what we want. The new Outlook doesn't seem to have this option.
This is the issue, it's annoying to have to do this one by one for each message. We should be able to to toggle this for all messages.
Chiming in here as well as I can't seem to to find the dark gray theme I always use? Surely there is an accessibility issue here? As you can see, the top is a grey theme, however when you try to swap it over to a different "theme", it only changes the office background and not the "mode". We need a light, dark gray, and dark mode. Team Dark Gray all the way! Light and dark are too stark!
