Question

Classic Outlook - Until when will it be supported & available for use?

Can users with Classic outlook continue using it in 2025?

Answer 1

I've been using Microsoft office including outlook since I got my first computer a couple of decades ago. I now have Microsoft 365 and have continued to use Classic Outlook which I find generally full featured and easy to use for both small business and personal use. I tried New Outlook and it is so pathetic I'm thinking it was created by a 3 year old and not a very bright one at that! The thought that Classic Outlook may be discontinued has me searching for a new email program now so I'll be prepared because there is absolutely no way I will ever use New Outlook. WHY WHY WHY would Microsoft think of replacing a popular and extremely useful program with something that is absolute junk.

Answer 2

the new version sucks. The features provide no improvements to the user. What Is MS attempting to do? It seems like you get one thing fixed and another whack a mole pops up. Now I have to look for another email system...anybody?

Answer 3

Great!

Because the new one lacks the drop and drag emails to Calendar and drop and drag to folders on the computer! One of the most useful features in Windows!

Answer 4

I totally agree with you!

I went back to using classic and hope MS will update New with all features.

And find out what their users need!!!

Dear Rujuta Kulkarni1,

Good day!

Thank you for posting to the Microsoft Community. We are glad to assist.

Based on your post regarding "Classic Outlook - Until when will it be supported & available for use- Can users with Classic outlook continue using it in 2025? ".

Yes, users can continue using Classic Outlook in 2025.

Microsoft has announced that support for Classic Outlook will be available until at least 2029. This means you have several more years to use Classic Outlook before needing to transition to the new Outlook for Windows. However, Microsoft recommends that users transition to the modern version of Outlook as soon as possible to ensure continued access to the latest features and security updates.
