For what it is worth, I don't see what all of the fuss is about with the NEW look. I have taken Screen Shots of my account with the NEW look and with the OLD look and I find that there are not many major differences. I find the the NEW look is much better and modern looking, in my opinion. It may take a little while to get used to the locations of some things, but I find it much better now that I have used it for a while. The Compose button is now a button. I can clearly see my Sent Mail, Drafts, Spam, Trash buttons on the left. Contacts and Tasks (not as frequently used) are one click away under the MAIL drop-down on the upper left. The mail/Menu Bar changes based on what task you are doing. *** By the way... you CAN go back to the OLD version (until they close it down) by clicking on the Settings "wheel" on the Mail/Menu Bar on the upper right of your screen. *** Also... you can also change the Display Density by clicking on the Settings "wheel" on the Mail/Menu Bar on the upper right of your screen. I find that the "Compact" setting is more like the OLD look and works well for me. I guess it is a personal choice, but I have to say that I like the NEW look. Regards, Kevin.
