Category: Outlook SupportHi Folks, this is an article I published on my LinkedIn account, original titled “January 6, 2025 is a day to be ready for if you use Microsoft Outlook Desktop“
Microsoft announced that on Jan 6, 2025, they are going to start deploying New Outlook to all of their Microsoft 365 Business and Premium subscribers. From what I read, it doesn’t mean every single user will have it deployed on Jan 6, but they are starting, and you will get the New Outlook at some point. You can switch back to Classic Outlook for a while but one day in the future, New Outlook will be the only offering if you want to use a version of Outlook. 2029 is the date they have planned to decommission classic Outlook. Will it happen sooner? My sources say yes. Below is an informational article I wrote with a lot of information. Please share this article if you find it useful. If you need my help, please call 612-865-4465 or visit my website www.callthatgirl.biz
You can read the message in your 365 Admin Portal here https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/MessageCenter/:/messages/MC926895
In all my years as an Outlook Expert, I have helped 1000’s of clients with their custom configurations. Everyone has different setups and requests, I know how to configure them all so they work together. They have many different types of email accounts in their current profile, not just Microsoft Exchange. They have IMAP, POP, use PST files and of course, have 3rd party apps and plugins. I won’t sugarcoat it, I have some concerns with this push on Jan 6 for all my clients and any people who love what the classic Outlook can do.
This is all about to change, the New Outlook will only set up your email and if it has calendar/contacts included in the hosting, you should be able to view all your data in the New Outlook.
All Outlook users will need to prepare for New Outlook at some point. Here are some tips and I can help you migrate data to a cloud server. If you need my help, please call 612-865-4465 or visit my website www.callthatgirl.biz
This transition from classic Outlook to New Outlook is going to be a big conversion for not just end users but technicians globally. Please understand that not all computer techs/MSP or IT consultants know Outlook at the level I do. It’s time to understand we are all going through this together and no one knows exactly what is going to happen.

I had a client call in, one of their important folders for filing some data disappeared. I remoted in and didn’t see it on OWA. They were also using a MAC. We tested another browser and that didn’t show the folder. I logged into a PC and setup the Hotmail in classic Outlook and I found the folder under “Clutter”. I downloaded all the email, then copied the folder back to under their inbox. It then synced up online and worked again.
Clutter is a discontinued feature of OWA/Exchange and has been replaced with “Focused Inbox”.
Their focused inbox settings were correct so I’m guessing that the Hotmail server had a glitch of sorts and it disappeard on it’s own, which can happen. Hotmail does not have that great of support as it’s a free Microsoft account. If you want to have a business email account and can then utilize Microsoft business support and get backup, reach out to me using the form below. I can help setup your accounts and migrate your Hotmail to a business Microsoft Exchange account.
In the next year, many companies will be seeing their Classic Outlook disappear and New Outlook will be replacing it. Some will see this by “force” from their IT departments or their IT company who is chosing to move to New Outlook.
This can cause a lot of issues for employees scurring to find where all their old features went or basically “how to use it”, there are so many changes! I can offer a quick 30 min tour for any company that will showcase the basics and I can go into some more advanced features if your company is using 365. There are a lot neat features that only New Outlook offers but many will be searching for basic things that they knew where it was, and now it’s gone. I can also offer 1-hour sessions or do some custom training for your company. It’s just me so options are available.
I offer Zoom based training and all sessions can be recorded.
