How to move navigation bar to the bottom

Question

Hi!

How do you get the navigation bar to the bottom of screen in the new Outlook. The old way of file, options, advanced, is no longer an option in the new Outlook. You have to go to settings for everything (there isn't a file option). But I can't find where to move the navigation bar.

I tried to Google the answer and all I could find was the old way. So frustrating!

Thank you,

Lori

Hi @Lori U ,

Unfortunately, as far as I know, since the new outlook has a different design than the classic version of Outlook, it is not possible to move the navigation bar to the bottom. If you need to use the old features, you may need to switch back to the classic version of outlook as a workaround.

To switch back to the classic view in Outlook, follow these steps:

1. Open Outlook.
2. Navigate to the Outlook menu.
3. Uncheck the option for the New Outlook.
4. Click the Revert button.
5. Allow the application to revert to the Outlook Classic view.

If you don't see a toggle in the new Outlook for Windows, refer to this article: Toggle out of the new Outlook for Windows preview
