I hate the New Outlook

This is the worst update. I have so many email addresses. For work, personal, parents I care for. I can't link to one mailbox, I have to check each and every one. You get no notification. And to make matters worse, they now make it harder to switch back. You should be entitled to choose which app we prefer, not forced upon us!

I have tried and tried to like it, but it just doesn't work for me. Why wouldn't you take ALL the features and simply add even better ones. I can't get one notification for an email received, I have to click on each email address, go to the inbox and then see. It is so time consuming! Surely SOMEONE is listening to our peeves!

    Can someone else make a different mail Client that looks like the old one, we can dump the "New and Improved Outlook(everyone hates)" and use anything else but Outlook. The New Outlook is the worst software ever made, i would do anything to dump it and forget about Microsoft and email.

    This update was forced on me today, 28-May-2025, at the large company where I work. I have had to Google "how to use the Scheduling Assistant in the new Outlook" and I'm still unable to figure this out. Without exaggeration, this is the worst software update I have ever seen.

    Take a ticket! No words (ok, I’m using a ton of words) to describe how completely inept this update is……. Making it hard to find real emails ( needle in a haystack). Pumping up emails that are nothing but spam. Spending wayyyy too much time trying to find real emails….. I’m gonna go bang my head against the wall & hopefully it will make sense after pummeling my brain against the concrete wall!!!!

    So - Microsoft chose to put emails in different buckets…. My “primary “ email is nothing but ads! The real emails that I need are in “transactions “ or “subscriptions”?!?!?

    What a world….what a world…. Not sure what they were thinking on this one… great concept, but completely screwed the pooch - making us use more time in tracking trying to find legitimate & necessary emails….

    We all hate it and reverted back to the old Version (classic) If it's not broke, don't fix it. Just like the new Adobe sucks. Everyone reverted back on that one as well.
