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.

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    It is not because you're not suggesting how to get back to the old Outlook but to the Mail and Calendar app which is something completely different

    Most people just want the old mail program back and don't even refer to it as outlook. The default program is the "Mail and Calendar" app, that most people use. The "new outlook" name has simply made it confusing.

    I don't think anyone even had full access to the actual outlook program unless they paid for MS office. With the new version, the payment comes in the form of advertisements within the app, which you have to pay to have removed.

    So, I have simplified the process for the majority of users, as most haven't used an actual "outlook" program in many years.

    Clearly I have not said it brings back the old outlook, as I even say in the video.

    No need to over-complicate things for the average user. 👍

    Your steps are:

    1. Settings, Apps.
    2. Delete the new Outlook. (Outlook new)
    3. Go to the Microsoft Store, search for Mail and Calendar, Install

    This is the link to the Mail and Calendar app at the store:

    https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfhvqm

    However, the Mail and Calendar app in the Microsoft Store is not Classic Outlook. The OP wants Classic Outlook.

    Are you saying that once you delete New Outlook and install the Mail and Calendar app from the store that Classic Outlook returns?
