A new Message Menu appears on the right-hand  when the touch mode is switched on in Outlook 2013.


Some have found this new menu bar irritating.


To TURN it OFF:


Click on the down arrow on the Quick Access Toolbar (Customise Quick Access Tool Bar) and select touch mode.




This will add a new button to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click on the new button to toggle touch mode to OFF.


The menu should disappear.
