The company is stressing control and customizability with the refreshed Outlook, so many of the new features and visual changes are optional and can be stripped away if you want a simplified interface that’s far less cluttered than past versions of the software. Similar to Google’s recent Gmail redesign, Microsoft will let you toggle the redesign on with the press of a button or revert back to the classic look if you aren’t too keen on the changes. Microsoft is making it available for the Windows desktop app version of Outlook, as well as the web version. Microsoft first unveiled a redesign of its Outlook email app last fall, and now that visual overhaul for the software is available publicly starting today.
