Microsoft is changing the app name of the current Outlook for Windows from “Outlook” to “Outlook (classic).”

This change will only affect the app name as it appears in the following places:

  1. Start menu.
  2. Installed apps list.
  3. Start pinned apps.

The app icon and the executable file name will remain the same. This is not a change in status or support for the classic Outlook app.

This change is intended to differentiate it from the new Outlook for Windows. Users will see this update in classic Outlook version 2407 and higher.

This naming convention now also aligns with how it is referred to in support documentation.
