Revert back to the Old look of Gmail

Google continually updates the look, layout and feel of their Product and Services portals. Recently a few weeks back Google has introduced a new look for Gmail services. I am using the new look for quite a sometime and comfortable using the new look and layout, however this is not the case for everyone. Some people like new look of Gmail while some don’t. Today I got a call from my friend that he has switched to newer look of Gmail accidentally and want to switch back to the older look. So, here is the procedure to temporarily switch back to the old look of Gmail.

Switch to new look of Gmail

To switch your Gmail to new look, click on a link “Switch to the new look” appearing at bottom right corner of your browser window. A popup window will appear to confirm if you really want to switch to the new look or continue using old look.
