Not sure how this happened but the new outlook is easily the worst piece of software I have ever seen. That takes into account MS-Dos and Win 95 disasters.

No clue why on earth they would force this garbage on us, when most of us used to say how great outlook was......

I MUST get back to classic now and how can I do it as it dropped all my other email accounts and created armageddon

NEED answers now

Thanks you

    Agree. As a fellow Luddite (former software developer) I rely on saving certain important emails so I can refer back to them! Things like account information, order confirmations, etc.. I don't want them in their cloud! The "cloud" just gives "them" another opportunity to generate more revenue. ("Sorry you have exceeded your cloud storage limit. Would you like to purchase more?")

    Here is a link to download Outlook Classic from microsoft's website for those who don't have it (new installs of Windows 11, including Pro doesn't even offer classic. Idiotic.

    Agree completely with comments regarding "New" Outlook. Please reconsider your position and permanently restore the Classic version, as the "New" is a significant downgrade in quality, readability, font, adaptability and from an organizational standpoint. It is slow, more difficult to manipulate and is truly a disappointment from that which was supposed to be an "upgrade". The calendar function only works "sometimes", and does not always show upcoming meetings. Just a poor showing this time; please consider putting this on hiatus and returning clients to that which truly works efficiently, quickly and accurately. In addition, the transitional steps for returning to Classic temporarily are missing a few steps. Please consider infilling those, as the "New" version is prohibitive (by nature) in allowing one to smoothly return to the former version.

    Thank you
