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.

Cannot agree with you more. If you find a workaround, please let me know! I see that support for the good version of OL will end 10/14/25.
A disgrace.
Absolutely appalling, you are correct. I am not on a Mac, and I also did not uninstall/ install - just used the "Try the New Outlook" button. No issues switching back, however, they are ending OL 2016 support on 10/14/25.
Why, indeed, why...
You said it!
