My email does not have the toggle option in the top right corner to get the classic outlook back. There is no longer the old outlook in the store either. I have also tried the steps in registry editor and that didn’t work out either.

    Thanks. The problem actually went away when I used a different browser so it appears Edge was the problem. I will try your recommendation, though.

    Use New Outlook is not present in the registry

    Fred Theobald, it doesn't matter. Forget what that Microsoft Engineer said. I don't have it either, though I do have a "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\NewOutlook" registry entry. But don't worry about that. Just do what Hal says and install Classic Outlook instead.

    Then just make sure you're clicking on the right Outlook icon - for the Classic program, not the New program (which is actually not a newer version of the Classic program, it's a completely different program.)

    I am very happy as it is. To me satisfactory, give me chance to block the one I don't want.

    The toggle to return to Classic is under the Helpmenu now:

    If you don't have Outlook Classic, you can get it here:
