Hi. I am unable to unpin New Outlook from my task bar in Windows. Can you please advise? It seems that there is a new functionality with the right-click on the task bar icon for New Outlook. The popup window is different from all other applications. Thanks.

Thanks! This method worked and was easy.
Hello all.
Hold shift then right click and the option should be in the menu for you.
FWIW, I too switched back to Classic Outlook after a good few weeks of trying real hard to hang w/ "New". Having to figure out random stuff like this on my own is a good example of why.
The killer for me was all the Read emails kept bring Unread I went over my emails over and over, finally realized wait I already saw that one. got the the point I have to delete them to keep them marked as Unread.
Gave up switched back.
Neither of these suggestions worked for me, I did not get an 'Unpin from taskbar' option when right clicking the icon on the taskbar and I did not get an 'Options' option in the menu after opening New Outlook.
The way I had to make this virus go away from the taskbar was to click on Start > click on 'All apps' > locate 'Outlook (new)' > right click 'Outlook (new)' > click 'More' > click 'Unpin from Taskbar'.
I will never get the time back I spent blindly chasing around to find this, so thank you Microsoft.
You are a Hero, I'll never understand why Microsoft wants to reinvent the wheel and just forces us into stuff that no only dosn't work but it's annoying, using the new Outlook made my efficiency go down due to how bad it is, I couldn't even propertly open attached files due to the new version forcing me to download them or open them on an online version of Microsoft Office.
I agree. I'm having the same issue. I'm reverting back to old Outlook as new Outlook keeps dropping attachments. Make me look incapable when I have to keep appologising to people becuase it look like I cannot remember to attach file!
AGREED!
