    "Edit message" feature is very helpful to have, I use it as part of my daily work to add notes for my reference.

    I would need this feature as well as with my team. If this is something that can be implemented in the new outlook it would be beneficial. if this is added will we be notified?

    Yes, that can help too. I do not have the toggle button to switch versions in the upper right corner, but I did find it under "Help" - see below image:

    In case it helps anyone.....

    My new Outlook has a toggle button to switch versions in the upper right corner. When I need to edit a message, I just switch back to the old version, edit the message, and switch back (with a comment that functionality is missing). Not ideal but a pretty decent workaround (for now?)

    I just managed to find a much simpler solution. Windows allows us to install and use BOTH the NEW OUTLOOK and the CLASSIC OUTLOOK at the same time. The CLASSIC OUTLOOK was still on my computer (it was not deleted), and I was able to add the icon on my taskbar (I have two OUTLOOK icons on my taskbar now).

    I opened the CLASSIC OUTLOOK from my taskbar icon, and voila! All my previous email accounts, and all my archived .pst data files were all visible and available there. So I have decided to keep the CLASSIC OUTLOOK for my old .pst archived data files, and use the NEW OUTLOOK for my email accounts.

    So now I use my NEW OUTLOOK for everything except for two things - Editing and Viewing ER ARCHIVED eMails.

    And I use my CLASSIC OUTLOOK to EDIT eMails and view ARCHIVED eMails. When we edit a message in OLD CLASSIC OUTLOOK, the edited message will update the message in the NEW OUTLOOK.
