So, my outlook at work updated and now the toolbar for mail, calendar, groups, etc is on the left-hand side, rather than icons at the bottom of the navigation pane.

Is there a way to choose to have it back at the bottom as the left-hand side looks awful?

Hi Bee Frasier,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft community, I’m happy to assist you on this inquiry.

As per your description your Navigation bar was relocated after an outlook update and you're trying to relocate it to the bottom . Please correct me if I'm wrong.

To my understanding you're not using the new Outlook , I have done some research on your inquiry and concluded that Navigation bar location can be adjusted to the bottom by applying the following steps:

  1. Open the Outlook desktop app.
  2. Click File, then Options.
  3. In the window that opens, select Advanced.
  4. Under the Outlook Panes section, uncheck the box that says "Show apps in Outlook."
  5. Restart Outlook and your navigation bar would be relocated at the bottom

Kindly let us know if you need further assistance with this inquiry.

Please remember to vote to help other community members that might have the same inquiry.

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Microsoft Moderator

    Hi,

    I have the 'new' Outlook and I cant figure out how to change this feature.

    I want to remove this bar and move the calendar etc to the bottom like it used to be. How can I do this?

    I was pressing something to adjust my volume and then the navigation went from bottom to left. How do I move the navigation bar back to the bottom?

    Have tried unticking the box and still it is stuck to the left! Who would've guessed moving a bar back to where it use to suit would be so hard :)
