Split from this thread.

Hi,

I'm trying New Outlook, I would like to search inside an email for text, and also search for emails in the inbox.

I cant see any way of doing these functions.

Control-F does nothing.

Can you help please ?!

Thanks

    Unfortunately, I was not given a choice to retain the Classic Outlook. The New Outlook was foisted on me, and I cannot switch back. Everything I tried was ineffective to switch back to Classic.

    I hate Microsoft, but since they have a monopoly, all we can do is wait for retirement when we no longer have to do business impeded and abused by Microsoft whims.

    Thanks P. Goddard for forwarding Neils reply, yes when the screeensize allows the ribbon to be displayed this is a workaround ..., until its fixed by MS.

    You should be able to download and install classic Outlook. See Download classic Outlook
