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.

Did the product team at Microsoft Outlook have a fight with anyone? Maybe the UI team? Is this design a payback from the UI team for something? This can't be something accepted by the product manager, QA and other stakeholders.. This is the single most horrible piece of design i've seen in a very VERY long time, and i'm a Operations guy, with multiple products in hand on my organization. Just don't.. Serioulsy. You release this as mandatory and i'm (along with countless others) uninstalling Outlook and changing to another email client.

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.

The ads work, though. You can tell that's the main thing they care about is charging $3 a month to look at...your email??? Which often isn't even run by them. Wild. The future is a joke.

I can't agree more. This most recent update SUCKS! The search function does not work at all. My messages won't fully download so I can't reply. I am VERY frustrated with this most recent update!

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!

The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible
