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.

2024-06-20T23:32:37+00:00 Same issue on my Macbook Pro. No changes to settings - started a couple of days ago.
I reset the toolbar, which fixed the issue (as another poster suggested).

The main Outlook window should now be resizeable and you can add tools back in as needed.

2024-06-21T12:14:40+00:00 Wayne, your solution of resetting the toolbar worked so now I can change width of Outlook for Mac. It seems that I can only shrink the width of the app to the size of the toolbar as I have customized it. The more items I remove from the toolbar, the smaller width I can make Outlook. Odd, but workable.
