Outlook.com Classic View

Hi. Until just now I had a link to the 'classic' version of Outlook.live.com. I REALLY hate the 'new' one, both in looks and functionality. Now the link I'd been using immediately redirects me to the 'new' version. Anyone have a new link???

    Hello Dmm23

    Hi, I'm Karl and will be happy to help you today.

    There is only one link to access the classic view that I'm aware of which is

    https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/classic

    Just tested this prior to responding and it worked as expected (the attached screenshot shows the same account in both classic and standard view). Tried it using both MS Edge and Chrome.

    If it doesn't work for you, would suggest trying accessing it using a private browser session or a different browser

    Note: at some point, it is very likely that the Classic view is going to get removed without any notice since what you refer to as the <new> version has been around for quite some time.

    Just so there is no misunderstanding, this is a public user-to-user support forum. We're users just like you helping other users. We don't work for Microsoft have no input on Microsoft's policies, procedures, or design decisions. Microsoft Support personnel do not staff this forum.

    Thank you, Karl. I understand Classic will eventually go away, but I'll enjoy it while I can. The New view is just (to me) clumsy, ugly with room for the big selector circles to the left of the sender so less items show on the screen, and you have to dig deeper to get to the 'find other emails from this sender' option, which I use a lot.

    Again, thanks for replying.

    D.
