hate the new outlook that is replacing win mail. any alternative that is similar to win mail that is simple and fast to load?

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?

    Don,

    Thanks. Your suggestion worked.

    . Your suggestion and link worked! I'm back in business. Many hours of effort will be saved by reverting to the classic version.

    Great. Glad to have helped.

    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...

    "At least 2029" may be helpful for the "some commercial customers", but not for the rest of us. I'll need to know where Classic Outlook is going by early in 2026.
