I started using the new Outlook yesterday and it mirrored my current Outlook which was great. My current Outlook, in order from left to right, has my folders, inbox, reading pane, and daily calendar on the far right. Now this morning the daily calendar on the far right is missing. I have been all over the app and cannot locate where I have the option to add it back to the view. I see where I can modify the reading panes but that is it. Help?

    Yes! This needs to be resolved and provide the same experience we had in Classic view! Why would it cover up the other screen? We need it to be part of the view like it was before please.

    Thanks

    Is there a way to see "busy" days like the old Outlook? The monthly calendar on the left pane use to have a blue dot if there were meetings/appointments on those days that I marked as Busy. I don't see that as an option now with the New Outlook. Is there a way to change that setting somewhere?

    It is insane they are not providing the same functionality as before. To say it is a screen size issue, I'll just plainly say it was NOT a screen size issue on the "old" Outlook. So you have made the product worse for users, seemingly, intentionally? Just really poor execution to not carry over inbox views, including layouts that include calendar/schedule views, from old to new. Users have layouts setup for what works most effectively for them. To not provide and/or carry over that functionality is beyond wildly poor. It should not be an aspirational goal to make a product worse.

    Hi all,

    I found a way to solve the issue of calendar when pinned covering some of the options and reading pane. If you adjust your scaling in the display options (mine from 150% to 125% fixed the issue). If like me you need bigger sizes to see you have the option of using the ease of access settings to make text bigger and icon sizes on the task bar, desktop and file explorer can be adjusted from their own menus. It's not perfect but for those us need to use new outlook its a good compromise until Microsoft makes new outlook UI scaling more intuitive.
