I am so very upset that you have now forced the beta client on us without the slightest consideration for those of us that do NOT want our mail client looking like a giant cartoon. If you include themes, then why not include one that emulates the old client? Duh! I don't need initials when I can read the name, I don't need colors. (have you ever considered how this messes with colorblind people?) And I need the ability to adjust the font size without changing my browser size. I'll give you some time to fix this. I am paying for premium service, but not much longer if it remains unchanged.

shared this idea
Good morning, I just wanted to take a minute and thank you personally for providing feedback about the new Outlook.com experience, and even more importantly picking Outlook.com as your email provider.
I did want to let you know that the new features that we have introduced are all able to be disabled if you are not a fan of the circles and colors. I wanted to provide you some steps. Once you have these items disabled it should look very similar to your old experience.
First click on the gear in the top right. This will open up the Quick Settings Pane. From here I would recommend trying to toggle off the following. As you turn them off the screen behind will update so you can see what is changing.
1) Sender Photos (this is the colored circles)
2) Sort by Date – This removes the date headers (Today, Yesterday, etc).
3) If you didnt have the Reading Pane before turn that off also.
4) Attachment Preview
Hope this helps!

It is really unfortunate you have changed to a Beta version without consultation.
This version is, from my point of view, inferior and MUCH more complicated.
Is there no way that one can have simple e-mail any longer?? -

Fire your designers. Out of a cannon. Into the sun.
Was just forced to "upgrade" (which I say sarcastically) as the trick to trigger the old look apparently no longer seems to work. No one likes this though. No one. Read the feedback. No one. Everyone hates it. It's like you WANT to lose customers.

Get it right before you make everyone take it - I never liked it and when it gave me the new one automatically I kept clicking to go back to the old one. This is just one big moving mess - never stays on the place I am - constantly in motion and going wherever it wants to - not under my control which is what I want from my e-mail. No thanks!

I hate the new layout. Why can't I choose whether I want to change or not?? I would like a choice to opt out of any changes before they are forced upon me!! It is not a nice surprise to open the email and see chaos without my permission.

I am very angry that you changed my account, without my permission, with you beta version. I am completly lost. I hate it!

I dislike being forced to try a beta, with no possibility of using the existing program. The whole idea of a beta is to volunteer, right? Change for its own sake is often pointless.

What is the reason to force us to use the beta-version? of Outlook??? WHY ???

Beta is awful. Who's pet project is it? it's like a slow motion cartoon trainwreck. Someone in Microsoft needs to WAKE UP and listen to your customers. And particularly for customers who are *paying* a subscription for hotmail and other services - DO NOT force beta on them.

That's the fourth time Outlook change the look of the mail WITHOUT telling (even with a simple NOTIFICATION) it's users that it will be the case.
The look of the new interface is very unconfortable to look. And i don't think you even listen to the customer feedback for upgrading your interface...
Seriously this is becoming REALLY annoying.
Don't expect us to disable addBlock or anything if you don't even care about us.As a PROOF that you guys should STOP changing the version of Outlook :

I think you folks at OUTLOOK are criminals. You force my email (Hotmail) into Outlook Beta! I did NOT hit that damned toggle either! I was extremely careful never to do so! I just want to know? Why the pretense??? Why ASK the Hotmail account users if they want to change to Outlook Beta and then LIE and FORCE them into Outlook Beta later??? Corruption at its best! I will begin immediately looking elsewhere for a more honest email provider who puts its customers/account holders first!

Why have you changed the appearance without consulting me?
Why is it that basic scams like a bogus 'ebey' you are unable to recognise & put into junk? -

You just changed my email to beta WITHOUT my permission and there is no obvious way to revert to old view. Epic fail from MS once again. Why have you eliminated the pages numbers on email. The slider is terrible to use.

it is not ok for you just to change the way I receive emails/ the layout without permission. I think I should have at least a warning for awhile to at least get used to the idea. Also too many advertisements now. Seriously thinking of changing my email

Dear Sir, I have just opened my email only to find that there have been some major changes made to it. I did NOT request this and request that you return it to the version you removed as that is what am used to using and thoroughly dislike the version you have now installed...without my permission.
