Move Outlook Navigation Toolbar Back to Bottom From Side

 In a recent update of Office 365 applications the Outlook toolbar that switches between email, calendar and contacts was moved from the bottom-left to the top-left of the main window.

Here's how to move it back.


  1. Open regedit

  2. Go to the following registry key
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentEcs\Overrides

    If you have the ‘Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar’ string value and set it to ‘false’.
    Then click OK and restart Outlook.

    If  “Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar” doesn’t exist, create it by right-clicking on Overrides in the left pane and selecting New, String Value then name it “Microsoft.Office.Outlook.Hub.HubBar”
    Set the value to 'false'

  3. Close and restart Outlook
