I hate the new Outlook in too many ways to list and will look for alternatives after many, many, satisfied years. Development team should be embarrassed as I've wasted many hours over past month since "upgrade" and still can't get some formerly simple functionality. Big corporate overpaid geek programming arrogance on full display!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    New Outlook for Windows is a redesigned client with a different architecture and feature set than classic Outlook, and some features are missing, changed, or only partially available compared to the classic experience. COM add-ins are not supported, and certain integrations (like full MAPI-based scenarios) only work reliably in classic Outlook. For scenarios where essential features are unavailable or unreliable in New Outlook, switching back to classic Outlook is the recommended workaround when possible, and feedback about missing or degraded functionality should be submitted via Help > Give Feedback in the app so it can influence the feature roadmap.
