Friends.
Can anyone tell me when to use the Outlook in Microsoft 365 and when to use the new Outlook desktop app.
I have both installed on my computers - which I suppose is unnecessary. But I don't understand the difference?
Appreciate if someone can explain this!

Hi Karl,
Your answer is very helpful! I found your answer is telling us that some functions is missing in the new outlook comparing to the classic version.
May I ask if the "send update only to new receiver" function is missing in the the new outlook? :)
Many thanks in advance!
I have two email accounts which I happily view via imap on my Lumia 950. Since I'm no longer allowed to see my outlook mail on the lumia (or people or weather or calendar) , I thought I'd give it a try. On the PC I clicked on the gear wheel in new outlook's caption bar, it showed me the accounts and said I have to log in. I entered the passwords and was told "Something went wrong, I may have to use an App password"
let me know when new outlook is finished.
Forgive the tardy reply, PH_SA. No.
And only today, my 'paid' Outlook opened up to the Web outlook, which always involves jettisoning the intruder and re-opening my Sub'd version.
I cannot understand why it is beyond MS's ability to apply Code that recognises when a Subscriber is 'active' and blocks bouncing them into the Web version.
Go to the bathroom, Take a dump... Wipe your butt using your left hand... THEN, Wipe your butt using your right hand... Result = same... Clean Butt!
But NO.... MS has to throw multiple e-mail programs at us! I recall for years they would "UPDATE" the version, not create another different version!!! OMG SMH
can anyone help with this
If i reset outlook(new) app - it says it will delete all emails which im fine with. My worry is will it delete the emails in "outlook desktop" too?
Outlook (new) and desktop outlook - both carry different email id's.
I want to be 100% sure of it, before i reset Outlook(new) app - as i dont want it to affect my outlook desktop at any cost.
