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'm just replying to my original message about how horrible this new system is. It is so much more time consuming to do literally everything. THIS IS TERRIBLE. I now have to delete messages to switch to my other emails if I accidently create a new message in another email account. Before it would let me switch between them easily. This is the same for creating a meeting in a separate calendar. I now have to delete the entire calendar event and switch it to the other calendar. This is so inconvenient. It's also now harder to delete copy in emails where I don't want to forward the entire message to someone else. This doesn't even make any sense why? Not to mention that I can't easily delete messages. I have to hold the control key and click the space bar on my laptop to see the checkmark option and it's so hard to do. Like it's clunky and keeps shutting it off and I have to redo it a million times. The same with the stupid trash can on the end of the messages. It's harder to click them than the previous Outlook. This just enrages me and makes me never want to use Outlook again, when I used to like it more than Gmail. F this Microsoft. You lose.

Yeah dude I totally agree, the only problem is that this app is ****, not gonna cut it.

I believe they are doing this to try to force everything into an eventual Single "Teams" client for all services. They want to make everything into one app and then push you more towards on-line only just as they are trying to do with Windows. You can see it all over there marketing and the new "Features" being release to more easily run your windows desktop on "The Cloud" with a local stripped down version that is available to run on your laptop\desktop\tablet, low cost peice of **** device, etc. Just so they can push more revenue into Azure. Don't believe me go look at the ME3 and ME5 licenses and new features.. It seems they forgot that Outlook has been tweaked over the past 15+ years to be fairly good at what it is, A EMAIL CLIENT. Not a F'ing place to hold hands and drop into each others face every few seconds. MS thinks this is what the kids all want long term. But news flash even the kids don't want to deal with work contacts being in their face 24x7 or having to answer every Emai...err Every Teams message immediately and in a 24x7x365 world.

Yes, I removed it today and will not be trying it again. What works best for me is opening Outlook in the Edge sidebar.

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?!?!

The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible
