Reverting to regular old Outlook

Topic

New Reply

Windows 11 Home on a PC. I’m trying to follow the Registry Edit to revert to the regular Outlook that I had in Office 365. No button to turn it off. I do not have a key UseOutlookNew. I do have 2 keys that have Outlook New in them. Should I set both of these to zero?

It’s UseNewOutlook not UseOutlookNew and, if it’s not there, you need to create it.

Right-click an empty area in the section contained those other Outlook New entries and select new > DWORD.

Name it “UseNewOutlook” and, by default, it’ll already be set to zero.

Thanks. I’ll do this also.

Which Outlook are you using? The desktop Office version? The “new” Outlook that has replaced the built-in Mail app in Windows? The web interface at Outlook.com?

Desktop Office 365. Since I didn’t have the registry key referred to in the Microsoft article, I tried just choosing regular Outlook from the Start menu. And it worked! I got back the interface I like, including color coding certain people. And got rid of the check boxes which annoyed me. Thanks for getting back to me.
