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.

If you could convince our security tzar to allow them. Only outlook is allowed to connect to our exchange server.

I agree! The new Outlook is making me consider Gmail.

Nope, its Micro$hit's speciality - more exactly their IDIOCRATIC managors, who think they are some UI/UX experts, when all they can do perfectly is that they raise blood pressure of M$ **** products users !! Its increible how BAD M$ has always been in ANY update - especially in Office products. Avery single UI update had been a huge trouble and pain in the ****, that many people complain about. Why don't you just fire those idiots finaly ?

Get us off the way finally and cease to exist !!! That would be your best strategic decision and the best service to humanity ! Leave the business and let the real companies take over - you CRETINOS !!!

I was brave and gave it a try for almost 2 months... And the conclusion is: It's awful! Trying to reply to grouped emails and trying to choose not the latest is an exercise of patient. It's really easy to miss an email and hard to find old emails. You can't drag and drop documents from emails, which is a major issue for me since I do receive documents all the time and what was a simple task before, now requires multiple steps. Apparently the working hours in the calendar don't take into account daylight savings and in my case it's shifted by an hour. You can force it by changing the start/end time, but this will affect other people trying to book a meeting with you. Previewing documents takes forever (1 or 2 minutes) and since you can't drag and drop, you need to download the document, open your download folder and open it... There are many other issues, but the ones above are deal breakers for me and was not created for professionals that use emails regurly.

The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible
