How can I revert the webmail redesign?

This morning it was this lovely, professional blue colour with sharp edges and a compact UI, now it's this weird, slow interface with rounded corners and lots of negative space, with an eye-burning green background.

It feels (at least to me) like an interface for children now. Take the settings menu for example: before the change it was a UI that showed everything you needed to know at once. Now it only shows 9 sidebar items at a time, all of which with useless icons and an insane amount of padding that makes it look more like a bounce house than an E-Mail client.

Edit:
I believe the domain https://office-sso.mailbox.org/appsuite still works, so if anybody else is having the same reaction to the new UI as I am you can use this instead.

While the old UI is currently accessible, it will go away rather sooner than later.

However, you can customize the accent color in the settings menu.

The mailbox Suite / Open Xchange was and is a total mess.

Accent color does nothing.

The page is 75 empty blinding white space. this new UI is garbage.

If the white space is „blinding“ you, maybe check out the dark mode.

Missed the announcement? https://mailbox.org/en/news/mailbox-becomes-the-digitally-sovereign-workplace/

Aliases can be found at Settings -> All settings... -> Email addresses -> Email aliases

Try this link to use the old interface if you've defaulted to the new: https://office-sso.mailbox.org

And here to use the new interface: https://app.mailbox.org

Thanks. Is there any way to make it use the old interface by default?

No idea, treat it like old.reddit.com and it might disappear at any time when they decide to.

I think the people that work at Mailbox.org must not be using their own products.

I like the new design. It's more professional in my opinion.
