    I Can only hope they just leave classic outlook as is , works great, easy to use, satisfies all my needs & rather not switch to A similar email service like thunderbird ( though can import all needed pst files, contacts , etc. )

    If CLASSIC ENDS I may need not need 365 subscription as I don't need other items I get with it

    Lets hope MSFT listens to all the complaints of the new version

    The least they can do is delay the end of classic beyond 2028 until new classic becomes far more functional but still I cant see it as being as great as classic outlook no matter what they do to it

    Hopefully

    Microsoft has a LONG WAY to go if they expect me to switch over to the new Outlook. I tried it for a month thinking I would need to get used to it if old Outlook stopped being supported but I couldn't take it anymore. Simple clicking/dragging attached files directly from emails was no longer possible, something that saves me a ton of time in my day. I was having to download files and then drag them from my downloads folder.

    I use categories a lot for my emails (instead of folders), and I liked the ability to search for categories that I wanted to apply to emails. But then, for whatever reason, I could no longer view emails that were assigned to some categories when I clicked on the categories in my favorites menu. This is just one of several bugs that I've encountered working with this program.

    If Microsoft wanted to create a new product with automation and integrated AI tools, then they should have kept the design that everyone liked and then just incorporated them.

    Hopefully in 2029 the new Outlook will be much improved and then I'll take a look at it. But right now it's trash and I don't want to use it (just like No Man's Sky was trash when it first launched). Hopefully Outlook follows a similar trend to that game.

    I don't like the new Outlook because there are no Notes or Tasks.

    Also, it always opens to the new version & I have to go to Help & click on Classic Outlook.

    Has anyone figures out how to get it to open to the classic?

    Well, it is no longer working for me. I have uninstalled the New Outlook and (that used to give me access to the classic Outlook). Now it tells me that mail and calender are no longer supported. Then it expounds into Windows 11 BS and I don't have Windows 11 and wants me to export my data and login to Google. Any suggestions?
