I need to return to my classic Outlook. I need to turn off new toggle. I can't. Help
NebilSedki Try this if you're looking for what I think you are (and what I was):
In Outlook, click on the File menu and then select Options int eh Lower Left of the screen/window.
In the Options window, select Advanced from the bottom area of the list on the left.
In Advanced, immediately below where it wants you to Customize Outlook Panes in a checkbox to "Show Apps in Outlook".
Uncheck that box and restart Outlook like it says you need to.
Going back to classic Outlook for Windows
If you toggled into the new Outlook for Windows preview from classic Outlook for Windows, every time you try to launch classic Outlook for Windows you'll be redirected to the new Outlook for Windows preview. You can go back to classic Outlook for Windows by selecting the toggle in the new Outlook for Windows app.
If for some reason you don’t see a toggle in the new Outlook for Windows, try these troubleshooting steps:
Make sure you try to launch classic Outlook for Windows from the Windows Start Menu, not the new Outlook for Windows. The new Outlook for Windows has a “New” tag on its app icon. For classic Outlook, select the icon without a “New” tag.
From the Windows Start Menu, type “Registry Editor” in the search box and select the Registry Editor app.
Navigate to the following path: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences
Scroll to the bottom of the list to and double click on UseNewOutlook.
Enter 0 in the Value Data field.
Attempt to launch classic Outlook for Windows from the Windows Start Menu.
Reese78 - Thanks, your method works.
Great. all other solution is useless except yours. thanks Reese78
Reese78 Please can anyone help! Been going out of my tiny mind all day! - I have happily gotten rid of new Outlook for ages now and just ignore the toggle. However - this morning my laptop has decided it will ONLY log in to Office's view of Outlook and I hate it!! I want the classic CLASSIC view back thank you!?
The other soltions on here don't work for me - I've tried the registry thing - I have no 'UseNewOutlook' option, just 'NewOutlook' and nowhere to add the data value!
I have uninstalled the new one and have the classic one on the laptop - but the icon is not the normal 'old plain envelope', it is the one with an O on it (Office), though that is not the New Outlook, it is STILL not what I want!!! I don't call that my classic Outlook ! What can i do!?
I have tried the clicking on file / view, there are no settings to alter it!
thank you so much for any help !
Thank you Reese78 ! This is the correct way to do it. Especially if you only have one account and get an error message when logging in. In these cases you cannot add your own account a second time, there is nowhere to delete the profile, and since you cannot log into Outlook you cannot switch back to Outlook classic. This reg key is the way to go, and no reboot is required, just open Outlook (classic) after setting the key value in registry to 0.

- failed: that registry path has vanished from my registry. Also typing Registry Editor fails completely the app name is Regedit.
I have the button to go to Classic Office but when I press it it crashes.
My registry UseNewOutlook is aleready 0.
I am using Offrice Home & Student 2019.
I want to get to classic view so I can stop automatic download of email AND
to move my Outlook.pst file to an external hard drive.
I don't want to wear out my SSD drive.

I was looking for a fix for another issue and came across this thread. Just go to default apps, and change Outlook New to Outlook. You want the icon with a FLAT top, not the roof shape top.
This Outlook new I think is just replacing the mail app.
- Wow, can't believe it took me getting all the way down this page, before I found an option that actually worked. Thanks Reese78
