I need to return to my classic Outlook. I need to turn off new toggle. I can't. Help
LeonPavesic that worked like a dream! Only thing I would change is to change the registry setting while exited from Outlook.
BTW, this new Outlook - what use is it? The visual interface is so much less usable and so much more restrictive. I don't get it.
I hated Classic Outlook before there was another option. I switch on the first available opportunity and haven't looked back.
It's cleaner, easier to use, and much more organized.
I also like the customization aspect, though that's more cosmetic than functionality related. There nothing I could do in Classic Outlook that I cannot do in New Outlook.
I never lost my toggle switch and I only use it when I am troubleshooting with one of our employees at work since I work at the Help Desk.
There's no comparison for me. I get into Classic Outlook now and I'm even more confused by it than ever. It was always buggy.

So, you said "There nothing I could do in Classic Outlook that I cannot do in New Outlook."... Alright.
You have a professional or work account? (I'm refering to accounts ending in i.e. Contoso.com, @yourdomain.com ). In New Outlook (since first version and still in May 2025) you can't add your OWN NAME to you SMTP account. Yes, you can't add your OWN NAME. So, when you send a mail, the recipient receives you message like this: From sender@c.... (instead of John Doe <sender@...>
Outlook Classic supports that, and New Outlook is not supporting this, so be prepared, because your professional mails will look as you forgot to add your OWN NAME. And Microsoft, as always, are not planning to fix that.
