navigation bar moved to left
I like so many have experienced this unwanted issue and the solution has likely been mentioned multiple times, however, I feel compelled to reiterate the broader concern here. For those who have not found a short-term fix: I simply turned off the "Coming Soon" Try it now feature in the top right corner and restarted my Outlook and all was well again. The broader concern is that the user's eyes have less work to go to the bottom left of the screen for those frequent use navigation buttons and they are relatively out of the way. When the buttons are high and to the left, they are not as accessible to the user experience. For those who want the choice, I do believe it should be given. I understand the logic of placing them to the left of the folders as the belief could be your eyes are there anyway, however they are less often in that space than when moving from email to calendar to other apps. I hope this isn't a planned permanent feature. MBZ1_

If I'm not mistaken - this new annoying new feature became a part of the "office 365" Insiders BETA Channel.
My "Office 365" does not show the "Try it Now" On/Off, toggle switch, - anymore.

I just added the Beta version and it RESTRICTS that Navigation bar to the left, taking up valuable screen space. They could save a considerable amount of space if the moved it to the top empty, wasted space left of the SEARCH bar.
