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.

    This new version is beyond bad. Half of the key functionalities are gone, and the other half is 7 clicks away, which is tedious and time-consuming. Outlook is a business tool, not a toy for kids Microsoft, stop messing around. Windows 11 is enough of a disaster.

    I just opened outlook this morning to find everything's changed again & even worse that the last.
    This is why I'm slowly migrating all my important registrations & so forth to Gmail because Microsoft are becoming a joke for user experience & honest. Lied to us about windows 10 being the final with paid customization & features where people who don't want them still get security updates. Only to pop out Windows 11, which by the way just makes me feel like they're trying to emulate Apple's OS. It's horrible on the system I tested it on. But the fact they excluded significant number of AMD cpu's from being compatible for the windows, CPUs that wipe the floor with some of Intel's that are is a joke & obvious bias. It probably explains why they partnered up with Intel in designing it.

    Agreed! Hey Microsoft, this is a F&^CKi*&g BUSINESS TOOL. Not some F'ing toy for tweenies and social media gurus. Maybe we should go back to the old days and have two versions of Office, one for serious business users and another for 420 friendly idiots.

    couldn't agree more. MS is taking my money and now I am wasting serious amounts of time just conducting basic activities. What the F***? None of this is necessary and impossible to understand how to get my "old" 2022 interface back. Microsoft sucks and is stealing my life away
