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.

Absolutely horrible. No file menu. Advanced options Gone. Question. Does Microsoft actually have "real" users test this ****? I think not. Notifications for meetings do not work any longer. Keep trying Microsoft

100% agree, taking away features that we have like recalling an email is such a bad idea. Please do not roll this out. Everything about his new look Outlook is horrible. It messed up my signature as well and I can't even quickly fix it as it keeps wanting to add extra line spacing.

It is very ugly, why mail and calendar app from windows is getting turned into Outlook for Windows. It's just in a browser. I use Wino Mail, One Calendar and One Task. So much better than browser based Outlook.

Want these apps? Links below. Wino Mail: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productid/9NCRCVJC50WL?ocid=pdpshare One Calendar: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productid/9WZDNCRDR0SF?ocid=pdpshare One Task: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productid/9NBLGGH2JHRG?ocid=pdpshare Thank me later.

Outlook is consistently the least reliable product in Microsoft's product lineup and at every opportunity I make the professional recommendation for our organization (local government, Austin, Texas) to move off the Microsoft standard.

The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible
