navigation bar moved to left
Dears, The navigation bar has been moved to the left. How can I change it back to be on the bottom?

I have found the solution and have just tried it and it actually works
Microsoft has implemented another change which allows you to move back the Navigation Bar to the bottom.
You can access this toggle by clicking on the Options link in the More Apps flyout or via;
- File-> Options-> Advanced-> disable: Show Apps in Outlook
Then restart Outlook and it should be back to normal.
Reinstate the Navigation Bar at the bottom by disabling the “Show Apps in Outlook” option.
Be aware that this also removes the ability to get the full Microsoft To Do app experience within Outlook. Just in case you were enjoying that.

Office_Whiz Thank goodness for that! That sidebar has been really annoying me. I wish Microsoft wouldn't simply dump these unwanted changes on us without any means of putting things back how we like them.

Warren472IMO, this change is unwanted but probably makes it easier for many people to see the bar. Removing the To Do experience to roll back this view seems foolish. Why do that? If I worked at MS I would spend my time doing something useful (to me anyway).
- Get to work putting borders around explorer again. White windows on white screens with no borders was someones oversight and it's annoying as hell.
- Dump the unskipable first run in Edge that sets a bunch of settings like unwanted content, background images and shopping settings that I have to immediately turn back off. Or, make the first run actually useful so I could set/disable these settings during first run.
- Top putting unskipable tool tips in all of O365. Who are these for? They're only an annoyance.
