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.

    The new MS outlook is so bad. I dont get to choose where I want to save attachments, the attachments download popup blocks the reading panel, I can only see the first attachment. I had an argument with a colleague for not sending the correct attachment, which he did, but it was hidden until I clicked the, show all attachments link. The conversations are difficult to expand and it jumps up and down the list of mails when expanded. so bad

    If they force this upon me in 2024, that's be the last I'll ever use Outlook.

    Why do I see adds in this new Outlook? 😤 They are disguised as emails and open browser if you click them. We all paid for Windows licence, we should not see adds in Microsoft products!

    the new outlook floods my inbox with ads that are disguised as emails. when you click on them a browser opens. It wastes my time. I have uninstalled it and reverted to Mail.

    Completely agree Nataja,

    I now no longer have access or a connection to my e-mail account from my ISP. Just cannot connect via IMAP, and POP3 does not seem to be supported, thanks Microsoft. Mail worked just how I wanted it to, basic and straightforward. I note the new version includes ads unless a subscription is paid. Time to look for another e-mail client.
