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.

Agreed. The day I'm forced to use the new version is the day I'm unironically uninstalling it.

It's a typical thing of big corporations to do this, so it doesn'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 not typical. Only evil corporations without a moral compass. Evil Communist sympathizer vampire Bill Gates wants humanity to eat cockroaches while he steals everyone's life by stealing it and forcing it on his cloud. Achtung! Der Office upgrade is obligatorisch!!!! Sie werden unsere Güterwagen einfach lieben! Sie werden unsere Güterwagen einfach lieben!

The ads work, though. You can tell that's the main thing they care about is charging $3 a month to look at...your email??? Which often isn't even run by them. Wild. The future is a joke.

Go to the "help" menu in the Mac client and click "Revert to Legacy" at the bottom of the list. That should do it.

I'll agree the new Outlook is a hot mess of garbage. Changing the setting to dark mode does absolutely nothing when I tried this steaming turd. None of the options do anything at all to get rid of the glaringly bright theme that starts by default. The setting page layout with the older outlook is better and allows better control that the watered down settings in the new system. Its like the difference between the settings app in Windows 8-11 vs. the Control Panel.

The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible
