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!

    Hi

    I am an Independent Advisor, trying to help other users in the Community with my experience in Microsoft products. Please note that I am a user like you and don't work directly for Microsoft.

    I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue and I hope the following suggestion will work in your case.

    The New Outlook is still in development by Microsoft and unfortunately, there are some issues with the New Outlook app while new features are added.

    You can find all the expected dates in this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Outlook%2CDesktop%2CWeb&searchterms=New%2COutlook

    Should the issue you experience impact you, I suggest you revert to the Classic Outlook.

    You can set a registry key to hide the New Outlook switch and to switch back to classic Outlook if the option doesn't show in new Outlook.

    Diane Poremsky posted the instructions here:

    Same... i am an Executive Assistant and have to manage multiple inboxes, it switches me back to inboxes i wasn't in when i last sent an email and its so confusing to know where you are, i have already made mistakes due to this "improvement". Adding attachments to meetings in dairies is impossible (even when saving documents multiple different ways) and you can no longer drag and drop which was so handy before. I literally hate using it but have to as i can no longer access the multiple diaries i use on the old version. its made my day to day job so much harder.... and this is progress
