Dear MS, If you wish to replace an application (developed over 20+ years) then make it functionally equivalent.

Until then don't bother with trying to push the <removed> that is the new Outlook onto people to test.

    I do. I was able to go back to old OL three weeks ago after trying for around 5 month. Was working perfectly but a week ago, starting to act very slowly. Thinking it was my computer but look like it's not.

    I hate Apple because of the fasle non corporate cool image they try to push forward, but lately, MS, with there shifty product they try to push in our throat, is far worst.

    Something need to be done to stop these monople to act like this.

    ALL - Has anyone else noticed their non-new Outlook has been acting very very slow lately perhaps after an update to outlook/office?

    There is speculation and rumors' around that Microsoft is pushing out updates that slow down OL (like how how apples updates make the phone less and less useful over time so you have to replace it every few years) so as to make it miserable and force users to the new OL that while total trash would not be as slow to deal with as the older OL. A form of planned obscelescence to force us all to that which we hate but which they want us to use.

    Rick - have you tried uninstalling Office and re-installing it? I spoke to our IT guys about this and they were surprised that the slider is gone. Short of uninstall/reinstall they had no suggestions. It may seem like over kill to do that but if it works at least you get a function OL back again.

    Can someone tell me how to go back? There is no toggle as I just loaded this on a new computer. All I seem to have is the "New Outlook"

    I have tried to return to the old Outlook unsuccessfully.

    You can no longer copy and paste email addresses from sources outside of Outlook. (ie Excel spreadsheets)

    I bought the home and student version of office. I had no idea Outlook was no longer part of Office.

    Now I have to buy a subscription to 365 as well? This is absolutely insane
