New Outlook[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Microsoft has introduced an updated user interface with the New Outlook. This version is not compatible with the Exchange of the University of Paderborn.

If you still have the old version of Outlook, you can skip this step.

Open Outlook.
Click on "Help" in Outlook's menu bar.
Click "Restore Outlook to legacy version".

Click "Restore".
Outlook now starts in the legacy version.
