Enabling

Please see the following documentation on how to set your Office365 Outlook to 'light mode', which takes up less resources to load but is also less rich in features.

1. Go to your Outlook, in most cases this can be done by going to https://outlook.office.com.
2. Click on the settings cog in the top right hand side. If you see the word 'Options', click it. If you don't see that, but instead see 'Your app settings' at the bottom of the pane, click on 'Mail' under that section.
3. You should be brought to a page with lots of categories on the left hand side. Click on the 'General' tab, then click on the 'Light version' submenu.
4. Check the box that says 'Use the light version of Outlook', then press 'Save'.
5. Sign out of Outlook by clicking on the 'Account' button at the top right corner. It may be a picture of you, or a blank face. Click on the 'Sign Out' button.
6. Wait for Outlook to sign you out, then sign back in again by going to https://outlook.office.com.
