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've got to agree. I look forward to new launches and updates, but the New Outlook is terrible. It doesn't have half the functionality of the existing version. Shred calendars are poor, quick tasks are poor, people view is poor..... and I could go on. Come on Microsoft, we do love outlook, just get the new version much better! Thanks

Yes it is. Must have been too user friendly, so they had to complicate it.

its absolute Garbage thank you microsoft for killing my outlook classic who ever designs things just needs to leave alone something that works like all the rubbish icons you keep adding "copy" "paste" works you dont need a new hard to read icon that looks the same as every other millenial designed icon bloody morons had to use the office 2021 version now

I had so many issues with the NEW Outlook, the biggest issue being the total loss of ALL contacts and no way to add them. Also there is no junk mail filter or as far as I can see any filters our automation. I have uninstalled the New Outlook and gone back to the old Outlook that has its own issues. I have been using Thunderbird and I think that is the best. I tried contacting support, and it sends you to some stupid AI questions totally unrelated to the actual issues. It is now uninstalled.

The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible
