I have just upgraded to 16.58 (beta) but now it brings up the "new" design with all limitations I did not want.
Are you experiencing the same behavior?
Have you been able to switch back to old design?
- There should be a tab to switch back. It is NOT required for the beta so you must have opted for the new design.

- You need to go to updates and then advanced and then beta channel and install the beta. That is Microsoft's current fix to the problem in beta form for now. Make sure you have the most current version of Outlook installed first (by checking if you are up to date before switching channels). Check my prior replies for more specific instructions.
- Cheers, I’ll give it a go.
same here in Vienna/Europe. Update to 12.1 on a Pro 2022 and Outlook 16.58 - new index, spotlight is working, new office installation. No search results. Oh it´s a shame microsoft.
