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.

Probably not helpful but I got so frustrated with the new Outlook I just uninstalled it and went with a less annoying email client. To be honest, I don't know what's so hard about creating and maintaining an email client (in this case Outlook) that installing an update leads to such aggravation. Microsoft. Please, just for once, listen to your users.

No more annoying ads and I do not have to log on to my Microsoft account and become targeted by ads if I peruse MSN news. Log on to anything Microsoft and say goodbye to privacy. So I said goodbye to Outlook. They were warned.

Just got a new PC. Very angry that Microsoft has made these changes to Outlook (Especially no Task link to be found!) It's like they don't even acknowledge that the earlier version ever existed. What's worse is I'm left to figure out everything on my own. Should be a seamless transition when you are using the same operating system. That is the very antithesis of user friendly. **** people?!

But that doesn't remove the main claim. People are, or feel, forced to use your ****. Personally iI fully agree. Drop it And, of course, I have changed to a more serious mail program. To all of you who like me are tired of this, and the new silly rules for mails on the server, no matter if you like it or not, try Thunderbird. They still offer pop3. Of course, you will need a new mail account, but there is still mailservice that offers pop3, and Microsoft Letting People Choose What They Want And What They DON'T Want.

The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible
