Hello, I am not sure what caused this change recently, but suddenly I cannot adjust the size of my Outlook email window on my Apple MacBook Pro screen. For example, I like to have Outlook and Teams open at the same time, and usually shrink them both so they are half width and I can have them side by side. Now, I can longer make the Outlook window slimmer from the left or right. It can only stay full screen width. I can make it shorter from the bottom, still. But that is not what I want. Does anyone know why this suddenly changed, or how to fix it? I have done all the things like quit the app and reload, and restart my whole computer. Thank you.
Using the New Outlook for Mac for personal email and calendar

The program is preventing resize, not the machine. All other programs can resize correctly. Is this the result of a recent update?
This will result in me leaving the window minimized pretty much permanently. I can no longer afford the screen real estate to keep it open.
I'm also having this issue on my mac. I haven't changed any resolution settings, and don't feel I should need to adjust them now. The outlook window will not allow me to resize, but swithing to calendar allows resizing. When I go back to mail, the window expands again. It's taking up way too much space and this started maybe a week or so ago.
I did the switching to legacy and switch back, it worked for a bit. It started doing the same thing in less than an hour. This isn't a fix...it's a bandaid.
Why does the calendar view allow resizing, but the mail view does not?
Hello JanickB70,
I did not stay in Legacy mode, I switched straight back to the latest version that I was on before I switched to Legacy. This then sorted my issue with the resizing - only MS will know why that fixes the issue. I was just glad to have it working again! ;-)
So here were the steps I took...
I am having the same issue since yesterday. Switching to legacy Outlook did not work for me.
I am having the exact same issue
