For a long time, Microsoft Outlook has been a popular option for handling emails, schedules, and contacts, offering users a flexible platform to organise their digital life. One of its great features is the ability to customise the user interface, allowing people to tailor the application to their preferences and workflow. One way to customise it is by moving the Outlook toolbar from the side to the bottom.
While the new toolbar o the side might suit some users, others may prefer the old layout. Moving the toolbar to the bottom can improve their productivity and overall user experience.
