How do I move the Outlook 365 Navigation bar from the left side of the Outlook Window to the bottom of the window? The instructions I have researched do not show anything like what exists on my Outlook 365 program.

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    So strange that they do this.

    The previously modest block at the bottom takes up very little space and is easy to click.

    The sidebar view takes up a LARGE amount of visual real estate, with ZERO benefit to me. I'll be trying to find that survey to vote!

    Happy New Year, Microsoft user friends.

    Hi All,

    On mine I right clicked on the 'apps' icon on the side bar then chose not to show apps, and the side bar went. You have to right click on the apps icon though, not anywhere else on the bar.

    I have commented on every forum. I hope they at least give the option to change it back if you want eventually...or let me hide it. It is an eye sore!!!

    To change back to have the bar horizontal on bottom (versus vertical on left side) simple do this:

    1. Select File > Options.
    2. Select Advanced, and under Outlook panes, clear Show App in Outlook.
    3. Close and then restart Outlook. After doing so, you'll see the navigation bar positioned below the folder pane.

    Is there a way to customize the density of how your emails appear in your inbox like in previous versions? The compact view is still much larger than in previous outlooks.
