The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible

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 also reverted back to the old look after trying out the new look.

    Couldn't see ****. Everything was too damn small and there were so many unnecessary options on-screen. Looks cluttered AF.

    UPDATE (2023/10/10) :

    idk if it's because I upgraded some PC components, the OS (W10 then, W11 now), or actual changes with the app were made, but it looks better than what I was faced with before.

    I stupidly accepted the change thinking this was going to be better... I was wrong on so many levels. I have nothing positive to say about this new garbage Outlook app. As soon as I switched, it removed all my other accounts except for the first one I added and I could not figure out how to get those accounts back or add other accounts. When I did an internet search, I kept finding "Click on File", but there is no "File" option. What the hell Micro$oft?!!! I was very frustrated and angry.

    Luckily, when I did a search for Outlook on my computer, I was able to find the old version with all my accounts still attached, so my frustration and anger has dissipated but my disappointment with Micro$oft remains.

    The new Outlook is trash and should be sent to the Recycle Bin and permanently deleted.

    This is the worst version of Outlook I have ever seen. Unusable. Why change something that works fine? Who is the audience for this? Instagram influencers and tech bloggers? They messed up Taskbar with Windows 11. Now this.

    Please fix.

    Please don't make us use this new layout. What was wrong with the old one?

    Fully agree! I tried it for 2 hours and could not schedule a room with the same ease as the "old Outlook". It is either not complete or are not good for business users with a large number of conference rooms, etc.
