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.

When I open Outlook and right-click the New Outlook icon in the taskbar, there is no "Options" selection in the menu.
I wish I was surprised, sadly I'm not...
For my version, this worked: select Shift, then right click the 'new' Outlook icon on the toolbar and VOILA! - more missing menu items appear including 'Unpin from Taskbar'. My organization is allowing trials of both 'new' Outlook and 'new' Teams. It is not going well for me. Moving functional items around just for the sake of it results in infuriated customers. Imagine if GM or Ford came to the car that you've already purchased and moved your radio into the trunk, your steering wheel onto the exterior roof and the windshield is removed entirely. That's the net result of Microsoft's choices with 'new' products. As a suggestion, perhaps Microsoft might fix the functionality of its other products before rolling out new ones that no-one has ever asked for.
Fully agree with your assessment of Microsoft's "new" versions. I was finally able to delete the new Outlook from my taskbar. At this point, I don't fully remember how, I was just so grateful to be able to forget the whole experience.
This is the answer I was looking for. Thank you!!
