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

    Hello jaybros06

    Hi, I'm Karl and will be happy to help you today.

    If you re referring to the icon bar on the left side, there is no option to change it back to the bottom. This is the new UI that is getting rolled out and there is no setting to adjust it.

    Just so there is no misunderstanding, this is a public user-to-user support forum. We're users just like you helping other users. We do not work for Microsoft and have no input on Microsoft's policies, procedures, or design decisions. Microsoft Support personnel do not staff this forum.

    It seems to me, an ex-assembler language programmer, that there is no technical reason to reduce the screen space available to users so that you can do what you want with the interface. Please explain why the location cannot be moved back to the bottom of the favorites column. Your 'our way or the highway' response lacks credibility and customer concern.

    I have Windows 11 x months - outlook Menu is on the left, having been moved a few weeks ago, to my dismay. Once you are accustomed to it back on the bottom, they will move it ...

    Whatever it takes, would encourage Msoft to allow users to put Outlook 365 Navigation tabs back on the bottom. At least provide the option. Senseless change in my opinion.

    Thanks Karl and others. I appreciate you solving the mystery of why my trusty work tool took a head spin the other night after my updates and reformatted itself to the point where I'm totally lost. I spent a couple hours trying to restore my upper left y axis navigator pane to it's rightful and beloved position on the bottom left x axis navigator pane....all to no avail. What a PAIN this new PANE is! At least I can stop trying to look for a solution and just accept what I can not change, forgive and move on. :)

    Thanks Karl. It was making me crazy too. I had clicked "on" coming soon and I suspected that had something to do with it. Indeed when I clicked that off, the icons moved to the bottom of the page again. so some developer at MSFT has decided that we all must now change to their preferred take it or leave it view. <sigh>

    and software companies wonder why they are universally despised.
