I am now using Outlook for Mac, version 16.79.3 (23120117) and am extremely surprised by the new layout, which is missing various information / settings.
For example, how do I add additional columns (such as Size of Mail) to the Inbox?
I also wanted to switch back to the old version. -> Legacy Outlook. But after the switch I have to enter all email accounts again. However, when entering the account under IMAP, the "Next" button is highlighted in light grey and cannot be pressed. Email accounts can therefore not be entered.
Using older versions of Outlook for Mac in business environments
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
When I returned to legacy outlook for Mac, the column choice and sorting returned the way I like it. Not sure why MS can't figure out how to keep functions when they create new versions of programs.
Wow what a useless response. Did not address the question AT ALL.
I agree. I use categories extensively. The categories now appear within the subject! So unless they put it back as a separate column, it will not be possible to sort my emails by category, which I need to do.
I am also extremely disappointed and simply cannot understand why MS would remove functionality that we have come to use and depend on.
Switching back - this is a show stopper.
I switched back too. There are way too many useful features no longer available such as clean up conversation view, sorting by flags, adding columns, sorting calendar items, searching current folder or all outlook items. Taking the web interface and forcing it into the desktop version is not the smartest move.
