Select File and choose Options.
-
Select Advanced, and under Outlook panes, clear Show Apps in Outlook.
-
Close and then restart classic Outlook.
After doing so, you'll see the navigation bar positioned below the folder pane.

Selecting an icon on the bar takes you to the app or module.
You can customize the Navigation Bar by adding icons for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote:
