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.

    We have the new version at work and I HATE IT!!!! I have read articles on how to revert back and there is NO toggle switch; NOTHING UNDER THE VIEW OR HELP OPTIONS!!. PLEASE FIND A WAY TO REVERT BACK TO THE OLD VERSION THAT ACTUALLY WORKS! We can't just delete or add programs due to it being an office PC.

    I am uninstalling. When I want to add an IMAP account or GMAIL I do not want Microsoft Cloud sync. You should give users options. Sorry.

    I agree, I find it so counter intuitive and the richness and power unsurpassed by a real GUI is lost. They are trying to webanize outlook.
