I am using outlook classic app version 2604 16.0.19929.20172 32 bit. if u can see the screenshot there is arrow in the top and bottom to scroll. that is missing from my user. the screenshot is from my laptop having similar outlook version.

Troubleshooting:Close Outlook completely.

  1. Press Windows + R and run:
    • outlook.exe /resetnavpane
    1. Start Outlook and open a few messages until the stacked list appears.
    2. Check if the arrows now show and if the mouse wheel scrolls the list.

If not:

  1. Close Outlook again.
  2. Run:
    • outlook.exe /cleanviews
  3. Start Outlook, open multiple messages again, and test the stacked list.
    1. Close Outlook completely.
      1. Press Windows + R and run:
        • outlook.exe /resetnavpane
          1. Start Outlook and open a few messages until the stacked list appears.
            1. Check if the arrows now show and if the mouse wheel scrolls the list.
    If not:
    1. Close Outlook again.
    2. Run:
      • outlook.exe /cleanviews
    3. Start Outlook, open multiple messages again, and test the stacked list.

    Not sure. But it looks like your pic is of the Windows Taskbar when you hover over the Outlook icon and it's showing you a list of all the open Outlook Windows?

    If so, I can't reproduce. My Windows 11 Outlook Classic will only show the open windows in a horizontal list.

    And (as far as I can tell) Windows 11 Taskbar can't show the open windows list vertically.

    Are we even talking about the same thing?

    Hi @ImteyazAhmad-3342

    Thank you for sharing the details and for confirming the troubleshooting that has already been completed. 

    Since resetting the navigation pane, cleaning Outlook views, recreating the Outlook profile, and testing Outlook in Safe Mode did not resolve the issue, the next recommended step is to repair the Office installation itself. 

    To do this please follow these steps: 

    1. Repair the Office installation  
    • Close all Office applications (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, etc.).      
    • Open Windows Settings (press Windows + I).      
    • Go to Apps > Installed apps.

    • Find Microsoft 365 / Microsoft Office in the list.     
    • Select the three dots (…) next to it and choose Modify.

    • If prompted by User Account Control, select Yes.     
    • Choose Online Repair > then select Repair.

    • Follow the on‑screen instructions until it completes.     
    1. Contact Microsoft Support 

    If the issue still continues after Online Repair, please contact your organization’s IT administrator and ask them to create a support ticket with Microsoft. Since the issue remains even after Safe Mode and profile recreation, a technical support engineer may need to initiate a remote session, review backend settings, and run diagnostics. If needed, they can escalate the case to specialized engineering teams who are well-equipped to perform advanced troubleshooting and provide targeted solutions.
