A bit of research shows me that it's not a feature that's currently available in the new Outlook... but you can certainly vote for it to be added! Use this link to request the feature: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/89a8afa3-2e1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472
Yes, from 2024, Windows computers are installed with a new version of Outlook for Windows. If you want the traditional classic Outlook layout, there is a download available from Microsoft for just this purpose - get the details here: support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/you-can-t-open-classic-outlook-on-a-new-windows-pc-5c94902b-31a5-4274-abb0-b07f4661edf5
You can definitely still use categories in the new Outlook. And if you have them set up in your Classic layout, they will transfer across when it opens New Outlook for the first time. If you are apprehensive, I'd recommend trying the new version on the web, so you can see the different layout and feel without a full commitment to it on your desktop!
If you are on a PC, you should have the option to toggle back to Classic in the top right hand corner of your Outlook window. If you don't have that option, this support article from Microsoft can help you troubleshoot it: support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/toggle-out-of-the-new-outlook-for-windows-preview-ec102b39-5727-418e-ae1f-a1805434640c If you are on a Mac, Classic is called 'Legacy Outlook' and you might have a toggle option in the top menu bar, or you can open the Help menu and choose 'Revert to Legacy Outlook'. Hope this helps!
Any idea how to change font & size in new Calendar? Thx!

The new outlook doesn't tally up how many emails I have in my categories. I rely on this way too much so I have reverted back to classic mode.
The free version of outlook that is installed on new devices from 2024 is different than the Office outlook. It seems to have the classic view.

I'm cautious about transferring to the new outlook, as I use categories in my emails. Do you have any suggestions?
DON'T DO IT. TRUST ME.

What is particularly annoying in the new Outlook is that you can use add-ins.
You can use add-ins, but they have to follow the new add-in-model introduced in 2013. Developers have been stalling in many cases 😥
