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 had so many issues with the NEW Outlook, the biggest issue being the total loss of ALL contacts and no way to add them. Also there is no junk mail filter or as far as I can see any filters our automation. I have uninstalled the New Outlook and gone back to the old Outlook that has its own issues. I have been using Thunderbird and I think that is the best. I tried contacting support, and it sends you to some stupid AI questions totally unrelated to the actual issues. It is now uninstalled.

What can you do about the terrible UI and Explorer Issues? Leave feedback in the feedback hub. There’s nothing you can do with the UI. It’s the least customizable in the lineup of Outlook. You have to leave feedback and hope Microsoft takes it to heart.

Woeful slow and annoying both on pc and mobile

Absolutely. Its terrible. This is increasing the BP. Very hard. Earlier, I used to sort by names, and type the first letter of the name which i need to go to and i was able to do it comfortably. Now any typing on keyboard is not responding. I have to scroll down until i see the name. Do ppl at MS want users to suffer with their ideas. Whatever comes to their mind they throw it at us.

The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible
