this is probably worse than the decision to remove group all at task bar and so many people refused to upgrade to win 11 because of that. what is Ms thinking?

I've gone ahead and installed the Thunderbird email browser, to run in parallel with Classic Outlook. Very quick to set up and it's easy to manage. Looks a bit like an old version of Outlook. And free to use, but like Mozilla they do ask for donations in support (fair enough).
Don - thanks for posting the link for getting back to Classic Outlook on new PCs. That'll save a lot of heartache and annoyance.
Let's wait and see what MS does about Outlook in the next year...
