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.

    OMG…. How did you get this so wrong, what a mess you made.

    Who on earth did you make this for ? as it can`t be anything that is business related.

    You know outlook is a work and business tools for many companies. Right ?

    It's permanently gone now. The "new Outlook" is essentially just a website within an "app" frame, so it doesn't support the pop-up panels like a REAL program/app.

    That's why there are so many limitations with the new Outlook in general. It's not a real program/app like we've been using for so many years 🤬😡🤬❗
