In the newest version, click on the Help menu and select Revert to Legacy Outlook.

I am in macOS Ventura 13.2.1 using Outlook 16.71
Are you using an older version of Outlook?

BarbarianCoderNot using MAC and generally use Outlook 365 (always current version). However when I want to forward an article to someone else a different Outlook (general) pops up. Tried switching to new version and it barely works. Wanted to switch back to the previous version and previous version link was not available. I was able to use the following to get rid of it:
Note: As we will be closing the app, please copy the following to a Word or Notepad file for reference.
- Close New Outlook.
- Press the Windows key + R key together to get the Run window. Copy/paste the location below in the Run window > OK.
%localappdata%\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\Migration
- Once the folder opens, please look for a file named 'Settings', and then delete it.
- Now, please try re-opening the Outlook app and let us know the results.New version of Outlook is sorely inadequate and only partially functional.

- josehillFeb 17, 2022Copper ContributorThanks for sharing that! I am delighted to retain access to the "legacy" view a bit longer. I am spending more time in the "New Outlook", but I still finding myself switching back to "legacy" often.
