download classic outlook

You have to download a stand alone version: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/you-can-t-open-classic-outlook-on-a-new-windows-pc-5c94902b-31a5-4274-abb0-b07f4661edf5 I have yet to get it to work even though Microsoft support says I can still use the classic version.

Where did you download the classic version from?

hi Ralph

i have just purchased a new laptop. i was not given the opportunity to select the version of outlook i prefer. the new version is ****!. so i have uninstalled the new version and currently have downloaded the classic version as a stand alone. seriously who had the brain fart and decided to screw with something that was not broken?

just installed the classic version and all is now as it should be.

please don't screw with a product that was good in the first instance.

Dear Karen Matelan,

Good morning! Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community. We will be happy to help you.

I'm so sorry hear that you do not like the new Outlook. I deeply understand the inconvenience caused and apologize for it.

Just adding some visuals for clarity. You can Toggle out of the new Outlook at the top right of the new Outlook window.

Also, kindly find the following article for more details regarding this: Toggling out of the new Outlook for Windows preview - Microsoft Support

Please let me know if you encounter any issues in the process or if you have any further questions.

I appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.

Sincerely

Ralph Chawatama | Microsoft Community Moderator
