Hello, Alyse. Have you lost track of time? The gradual transition ended in April this year (2025). As a result, I ditched Outlook entirely.

Everything about "Outlook (New)" is awful, including its name. The most awful aspect is the fact that by adopting "Outlook (New)," Microsoft becomes a middleman to my email. Not only Microsoft can (and probably will) read my email, but the company also charges me to host them a second time on Microsoft cloud.

No, thank you.
