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

    What kind of installation do you have on the old machine? Many Office/M365 SKUs allow for more than one installation, it depends on which one you got.

    Hi

    Student 2013, which is fine as i only need the basics. I found that out today but it may not work at some point with Windows 11 or 12 then I'll be looking at $149 I finally had to hire an IT group to get things straighten out. Microsoft is becoming tedious I'm almost ready to buy a used Mac and switch to Gmail not that I like that idea. I'm tired of the Q&A and the force you to buy mentality for what is becoming an inferior product. Thanks for resonding.

    It may work until Microsoft says it won't. Anyone that bought and thought it would last forever is eventually going to have to buy the latest version for what ever the cost will be. I'm good for anther six months or until they come out with Window 12.

    Thanks Hilary
