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.

'Switching back' to the Classic Outlook reclassified all my emails, sending many previously 'Safe' emails to Junk! Beware...
I didn't uninstall the previous version when I upgraded (at that time I had Outlook 2016), and it worked just fine. I recently had to have my computer replaced, and the company still allowed us to put Outlook Classic on it (though they installed the New Outlook when then set it up), and Classic works just fine. I did have to add my accounts back in, but with my computer being replaced I would have to do that with New Outlook, anyway.
Hi, I tried new Outlook a couple of times and then would switch back to the old version and each time functionality in the column categories is still working for me in the old version. Nothing changed in the old version. I don't know if that is the case for everyone, but it works for me. Good luck!
Wow, this is appalling that such important features were removed and still not available. Switching back tot he old version requires re-entering all accounts and I have 9 email accounts for different companies I work with. Can anyone confirm that the older version is fuly functional before I switch back?
It's shocking they haven't listened to feedback and fixed it by now. I explained this is why I'm going back to old Outlook, and this came up -
