Outlook web next/previous email arrows
Microsoft users reported that the Outlook Next and Previous icons which advanced between messages were missing. Now they are Back!
Since June 14th, many angry Microsoft Outlook users have complained about the inconvenience of navigating between emails.
The bottom line is Microsoft listened to the users and returned the up and down arrows.
Watch the detailed video on www.traccreations4e.com/the-vault because there are still some availability limitations.
If you are glad the up and down arrows have returned, give me a thumbs up.

And shoutouts to RichieB785, thomascybersecureus, and seljer for giving the update that the arrows are back.

Don't know if anyone will see this 5 months after the post but I figured out how to get the next/previous email arrows back.
Inside the full settings, go to "layout" (it's the first group of settings). Scroll down to "Reading Pane" and choose "hide reading pane." After you save and close out settings, you'll only see your list of emails. Once you click on an email, you'll see "previous" and "next" on the far right side of the top ribbon. Note that they will stay there as long as you have an actual email opened, no matter which ribbon layout you use (classic or simplified).
- Thanks, I did see it because the disappearance of the next/previous email arrows only just happened to me overnight with a weird update of the top ribbon (a whole lot of options I don't need or want). However I now have the words Previous and Next to the top left in an open email, so all is OK.
- Update to my previous comment - I've just realised that I now have to always scroll to the top of the body of the email to get to Previous and Next because it's in the header of the email rather than on the ribbon above the email - very annoying! So it's actually quicker to use the keyboard shortcuts suggested earlier in the thread. I hope Microsoft is reading this feedback.
