2. On the left-hand side of the page, press the arrow in front of the word General to open the menu, and then choose Light version



3. If the box is unchecked the phrase Use the light version of Outlook, then check it if you want the light version.  If you do not to use the light version, then make sure the box is not checked.  Press Save

NOTE: Choosing the light version will result in reduced functionality.  You can return to the regular version of Outlook Web App at any time by following the same steps and unchecking the box.
