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.

    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.

    Agreed!!!!!!!!! This "minimalistic" view with small buttons and crammed things was literally not worth the time it took to switch over....

    I believe they are doing this to try to force everything into an eventual Single "Teams" client for all services. They want to make everything into one app and then push you more towards on-line only just as they are trying to do with Windows. You can see it all over there marketing and the new "Features" being release to more easily run your windows desktop on "The Cloud" with a local stripped down version that is available to run on your laptop\desktop\tablet, low cost peice of **** device, etc. Just so they can push more revenue into Azure. Don't believe me go look at the ME3 and ME5 licenses and new features.. It seems they forgot that Outlook has been tweaked over the past 15+ years to be fairly good at what it is, A EMAIL CLIENT. Not a F'ing place to hold hands and drop into each others face every few seconds. MS thinks this is what the kids all want long term. But news flash even the kids don't want to deal with work contacts being in their face 24x7 or having to answer every Emai...err Every Teams message immediately and in a 24x7x365 world.

    Apple Mail is frankly a better email client than New Outlook. And it’s a native app that has a UI interface that is integrated with the OS. New Outlook is mostly a floating website in a box. Try previewing an attachment or getting a PDF to download and get handled by your default PDF viewer. Doesn’t work right.
