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.

In our Corp network, IT has made it so you can't connect with anything but outlook. MS can ignore us as long as they please the sysadmins.

At my work we rarely make comment about the rapid updates that Office brings our users, but for this update we put out a WARNING for all users to NOT choose to try the new Outlook. First time ever we've done that. Oh, we tried the setting that was supposed to turn that off for our users so they wouldn't see the slider. Didn't work of course. Yeah, great quality.

Doesn't help that the CEO of Microsoft doesn't value in house beta testers, so guess who gets to beta test now? Us users and we all see the results from flawed Windows 11 to junk with the Outlook app to a poor joke of an app in Teams. But hey the CEO was paid almost $55 million last year. What a bargain!

Yep good time to switch to another platform. I swear .. developers NEVER talk to anyone prior to putting a plan into place...

From what I've been reading in other sites, the long term plan could be to remove Outlook from the Office package and make this new horrible version the standard Outlook in all Windows machines (replacing the long forgotten, archaic mail and calendar default app in Windows 11). If that is the case, I see a lot of opportunities for someone to come up with a brilliant email program similar to the current Outlook to fill the void in professional environments when MS forces this turd on everyone. I sincerely hope that is not the case and we can continue using Outlook, with all its features intact, in the future.

The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible
