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
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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.
To get the old Outlook back on a PC at least, open the run dialog by pressing the Windows and R keys. Type Outlook.exe. Press enter.
Agree that this new Outlook is a disaster I'm using the Outlook 2019 PC version through Verizon as a POP account relayed through AOL. The new Outlook is not yet usable with a POP account. You can't log in, it doesn't recognize your account, and it helpfully offers to send an authorization code to your email that you can't log in to and it can't send to.
Fantastic reply, so simple. I panicked, thought I'd lost all of my mail accounts.
Why can MS not have answered this?!?!?! As usual, MS, Goggle ( :-) ) Thinking for us!! Bunch of chocolate tea pots!!
Yes, the new Outlook is garbage. Go to search box, type Outlook, select classic version, right-click and add to task bar.
You can download and install Outlook Classic from here:
You can't open classic Outlook on a new Windows PC - Microsoft Support
After getting/making sure Outlook Classic is installed, this is a good page to check:
Okay when I booted my desktop this morning outlook was the new design just like yesterday's message said it would be, however, I clicked on the switch to change it back to classic and it actually reverted back. I sent MS another feedback message that I will drop my 365 subscription if they force the new outlook on me.
Everybody who hates new outlook needs to give them similar feedback to stop the madness.
