Outlook 365, how to go back to OLD ribbon graphics and icons
As others have mentioned, the MSFT folks have taken a step backwards in usability in their efforts to be hip and trendy (and more Apple like).
The situation is another benefit for using virtual machines. I have a MacBookPro (better designed, engineered and built than anything you can find in the Windows world) running Parallels. I run a Win10 VM for most of my stuff, but keep a Win7 VM running so I can have my old, more useful and more productive Outlook 2010 at hand.
- 2010 is the best, however, some of my email accounts refuse to play nice with 2010. Been using workarounds for years (routing troubled email servers through a separate email server) but having more and more issues = unable to continue to patch the holes in the bucket
I totally agree with you. The simplified ribbon is not helpful at all for someone who has learned the tool and uses the majority of its features.
In Outlook the Appointment simplification now does not allow me to see the calendar for invites so I can see who's in and who's out...ridiculous.
Microsoft I do not have the time to spend customizing the ribbon on all the products every time I use it. Please do something about this.
- I like the new layout. But not being able to see meeting attendees and who accepted or declined drives me nuts. Organizers and attendees must be able to find that information as soon as they open the calendar item! I'm really baffled that this was removed or at least hidden pretty well!
