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!

    I DO NOT LIKE the new outlook format. There was nothing wrong with the old one. Why the heck do developers feel like they have to keep changing things when there is absolutely NO reason to change?! This new outlook is not as functional as the classic look. Why do you guys continue to defy the old maxim, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"?? It is my strong perfrence to use the classic outlook for a few reasons. The ONLY reason that I find myself using it (FOR NOW) is that I can add my gmail address into it.....but I'm not sure I'm going to keep using this new version.

    I wish to revert to the classic outlook, however, I am very disappointed that the classic outlook will not accept my gmail address anymore. How very frustrating!! If I use the classic outlook, I need to have multiple screens open in order to view my gmail email, and my outlook email. This is NOT more efficient or better. Good grief, mates. You're the experts. Figure out a way to allow me to add my gmail accounts into the Classic Outlook!!!

    In the classic outlook, I appreciated having my multiple emails (outlook, gmail, icloud) accessible on the left-hand side of the screen. I was quickly able to look at the inboxes for each email. It served as a "grand central" station for all my emails.

    I have worked with Microsoft for over 30 years. I ran a billion-dollar-plus alliance with them for four years. I am a dyed-in-the-wool Microsoft bigot. I HATE the "new" Outlook. It is horrific. I can't even log in to my existing MSFT account because it says it's "personal"... well no kidding! The integration to Google and Zoom is nearly impossible, and buggy as @#$%. I can't believe I'm thinking of moving to Google or Zoom platform. Satya, Judson, SOMEBODY, please fix this or roll back to Classic. As you can see, I (and thousands of other users) think this is less than ideal...

    I agree with you. It's frustrating when Microsoft chooses to "update" when all the updates do is screw up our regular settings. As a TBI survivor, their "updates" cause me SO MUCH frustration.
