Where is the Tasks and Notes support that you offer with Classic Outlook for Mac? I make extensive usage of these items and they are not accessible within the New Outlook for Mac client. When I click on the respective button, I am directed to a new tab in Safari. This is not a good user experience

Have investigated and have not found the "go away" switch or startup switch. I tried it, and switched back (equally easy). The new outlook has so much missing functionality, it should still be un internal Alpha. But come on man its just a button lol.
