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.

I agree. The update is terrible.

Agreed. It's hideous. Just got my Guardian daily newsletter, and none of the links are working. Inbox looks empty for hours, but when you close and reopen the new Outlook, there's a flood of emails which were obviously banked up, but not displaying. It looks horrible. Microsoft has to abandon, or seriously rework this function.

I can't even stay signed in -- I literally have to sign in every few minutes. Then when I try to send a new email, I get an "access denied" message. I switched back to old outlook and I'm hoping I'm able to continue using it.

Glad to see I'm not the only one - a total nightmare. I can't import contacts, I can't copy addresses to contact list, emails to group lists don't go, where is send/receive.... it just goes on.

I agree the old one worked, we get adverts rammed down our throught now we getting snagging messages to upgrade it NO its horrible a option to make the txt size bigger plus I'm on multiple monitors and the option for apps to remember what screen it opened on does not work So it opens on my monitor one and not two even if I drag it over it opens on my main No body on here likes it its realy bad on a surface

The new update on OUTLOOK mail, is terrible
