Using the New Outlook for Mac features in business environments
Hi Colin
Thank you for sharing.
Regarding the automatic update for Legacy Outlook for Mac, you can go to Help > Check for Updates, then uncheck “Automatically keep Microsoft apps up to date.” This will disable AutoUpdate not only for Legacy Outlook, but also for other Office applications on your device.
From my testing, when you create more than three events in Legacy Outlook and select the arrow to view additional events, the view switches to the Day view. In addition, if you create events in Legacy Outlook or Outlook on the web, the New Outlook interface is still able to display the indicator showing additional events.
However, I understand that these approaches may not fully align with your expectations. In this case, I highly recommend sharing your feedback through Ideas · Community
This is the official channel for submitting feedback and reporting unexpected behavior. It ensures your input reaches Microsoft’s development team, helping them stay informed and work on resolving the issue in upcoming updates.
