    You can uninstall the new Outlook from your system. That leaves you with only the classic version, assuming of course that it installed properly via https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/you-can-t-open-classic-outlook-on-a-new-windows-pc-5c94902b-31a5-4274-abb0-b07f4661edf5.

    Hi

    I've downloaded the classic outlook as instructed but the toggle switch that you mention is nowhere to be seen on the New(??) outlook...

    This is doing my head in....I've been trying to get my Gmail account through to the new outlook but with NO success.....

    Anything that you could do to help would be greatly appreciated

    Lesley

    You can uninstall the new Outlook.

    If you need to (re-)install the classic version, two ways to download it are described in the article at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/you-can-t-open-classic-outlook-on-a-new-windows-pc-5c94902b-31a5-4274-abb0-b07f4661edf5.
