New version of Outlook for Windows
Summary
The new Outlook for Windows brings the latest features, intelligent assisted capabilities and a new modern and simplified design to your Outlook app. You can tailor it to your style and do more with new Outlook for Windows!
Body
The new Outlook for Windows is a redesign of the application, very similar to Webmail/Outlook on the Web.
This is part of Microsoft's move to merge desktop and web(online) applications.
Because of this, the new Outlook is more streamlined and does not offer all the features of the Classic Outlook.
If you have locally stored archives in PST form, then
do not use
the new Outlook version until you have moved those archived messages into your current mailbox.
Submit a ServiceDesk ticket
to your campuses DI&Tech team for assistance if needed.

Shared Mailboxes moved in New Outlook
In the
'New Outlook'
, shared mailboxes appear in a different location.
In this version, any shared mailboxes that you have been given access to appear within your list of folders on the left side of Outlook, under the title 'Shared with me'.
Clicking on that little arrow opens up that folder to show all of your shared mailboxes.
Email Templates in New Outlook
If you have a saved email template, it can be used in the New Outlook for messages, but you have to open the template from that saved file and not from within the New Outlook.
