    Thank you for your response. After a whole frustrating day of this, i finally figured it out. I was able to do live chat, who resolved the issue, but it quickly reverted back to new format again. Even though I did pay attention to what he did remotely as best i could, i decided to do live chat again.

    This time i spoke to someone who at some point, i realize now, was challenging my license for outlook, which i didn't understand at that time. Anyway, she refused to help. I was very upset, but i remembered what the previous person on live chat had done, so i tried and it worked. It brought me back to old classic format.

    It's very simple, and you might have to keep doing this again as using the app sometimes may take you back to the new one. Hopefully, Microsoft won't prevent this as it would be unconscionable of them to do so.

    The second live chat person tried very hard to get me to buy a subscription before she would switch it back to old format, and finally when i refused to buy a subcription to get the old format back, she just refused to do anything for me.

    At the top of the new format, you'll see a row of functions, one of which is SETTINGS.>General> About Outlook, then select Open Mail Now, and it takes you back to Classic Format.

    Thank you for your response, This is so frustrating for me. When I pulled down the tab on the right, it gave me the option for classic, but when i click on there it's a little different but still the new. I want the old one that had all my email accounts on the left. It was easier for me. I'm not very savvy at this, but i really appreciate your help. So, do i uninstall what i guess is the new outlook mail now? And then what do i install? I'm not very good at this.
