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.

    Your posted solution doesn't work! As well as the other posted solution of hitting the toggle button which is also removed. Another Microsoft control issue. BS! There is no "USENEWOUTLOOK"! So how do I revert to the "classic" version?

    In New Outlook, if you go to the help menu in your toolbar, there is an option to revert back to old outlook

    Dear Kasey Hastings

     

    Good day!

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are glad to assist!

     

    Based on your description, I understand you concern with going back to classic version.

    If for some reason you don’t see a toggle in the new Outlook for Windows, try these troubleshooting steps:

    1. Make sure you try to launch classic Outlook for Windows from the Windows Start Menu, not the new Outlook for Windows. The new Outlook for Windows has a “New” tag on its app icon. For classic Outlook, select the icon without a “New” tag.
    2. From the Windows Start Menu, type “Registry Editor” in the search box and select the Registry Editor app.
    3. Navigate to the following path: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences
    4. Scroll to the bottom of the list to and double click on UseNewOutlook.
    5. Enter 0 in the Value Data field.
    6. Attempt to launch classic Outlook for Windows from the Windows Start Menu.

    In the meanwhile, here is an article, you can refer to Toggling out of the new Outlook for Windows preview - Microsoft Support.

    If you have other questions, please feel free to let me know, I will continue to assist you.

     

    Thanks for your precious time and your understanding would be highly appreciated. Have a nice day!

     

    Best regards,

    I found that in new outlook, when you go to the help menu, there is an option to return to old outlook.

    If you click on the Help tab, you're about to change it back to Classic version. I just did and it worked.
