A new sidebar displaying different navigation apps have suddenly appeared to the left of my email categories. This clutters up my email page and reduces the space for emails showing. There seems to be no way to hide this new sidebar and I really want to because it's ugly and interfering. Can anybody help or am I stuck with this? Here is a picture showing what it looks like. It just appeared today and was never there before.
It begins on the left side of the "New Message" button and shows different icons.

@chris330r I see it, I don't like.
If this feature was so great, Microsoft would be happy to let you get rid of it, because they would be confident you won't .....

It's been a couple of days with it and I still hate it but i'm learning to ignore it. I hate that it pushes all the e mail towards the middle of the screen because of that stupid sidebar.
I did find a way to get all my e mails lumped back together again. For some reason Outlook decided to change the layout to show "Date Headers" which separates all the e mails by the day, week, and month they came. So if you go into settings, and click "Layout", at the very bottom you can check "Don't show date headers in message list" and all the emails will be back together again.
I guess I can learn to live with the sidebar if they don't make any more changes. Of all the email providers i've used, Outlook is by far my favorite and i'd hate to have to give it up after all these years.

Your statement is fantastic thank you! We all have our habits and it is normal that sudden changes we criticize but it is important to find a solution that helps and works for all Microsoft is always looking in this way and as you can see is the recognition of users . Good luck

You CAN turn this off!
Go to Files/Options/Advanced, and uncheck "Show Apps in Outlook."
