Dear experts, As captioned, is it possible?

Hi @Eaven HUANG , Welcome to our forum! As I know, the X icon is used to close Outlook window. I'm afraid that we cannot use it to minimize Outlook window. It's by design. On the other hand, we can use the following option to minimize Outlook window. And for more information, please refer to: Minimize Outlook . Hope to help you!

Hi @ChristyZhang-MSFT ,

Thanks for your comment, it's a bit bad that new Outlook didn't give us the option to either Close or Minimize the window with X. Never mind, I got it and thanks for your help all the same.
