After researching how to get it back to how it looked, which was much more in my taste, much easier to navigate, had what I needed and nothing more, - I now see I can't get it back after it was updated. I think i'm gonna completely disgard of this email, I liked how it looked on PC, it was dark, fast, easy to find things, now it's very complicated with a lot of options and tools i have no use for, and it's bright, with small buttons everywhere. The browser version is alright, so that is what I will be using. I will uninstall outlook completely as a program from my PC, as I do not wish to have this update, and it's more trouble and much more confusing and irritating, than helping and good. It will complicate work and how easy it was before, but that's just how it is, when updates are being forced upon people. It's a typical thing of big coperations to do this, so it dosen't surprise me, that some people who think they know it all, make something new, to shove down the users throat, instead of being able to choose ourselves.

I literally--and purposefully--temporarily switched back to the "New Outlook" just to see again how much of a joke this is on every Outlook user. My God... How did the developers get away with such an atrocious and heinous act?!?!

It’s sad that everything has to taste like web these days. I don’t think people like me have a place in the future. I’m no Luddite. I’m in IT and I love tech. But there’s a place and time for web and web based apps. But there’s really nothing that can top a well developed, native app for doing real work. Especially tasks that are complex. I question whether developers exist that can even code in C anymore.

It suck, no rightclick to spam oh yeah if you PAY for it, as if they need money, i moved all my netshop from my windows mail to gmail, at least they don't charge for spam and do not send you to website when trying to open a mail. Microsoft will end up with a loot less people using there stuff.

I got this update last week. And this update is still terrible. Why do you do this when there is soo much feedback that this update is not wanted. Please revert this change!

Thanks a million. Explains a lot. I did also eventually find this hidden in support confirming the same thing:

The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible
