Will there be a way to continue using Windows mail instead of the new Outlook?

It's awful, I hate it. To make things worse my work only supports Outlook so I can't even change or add my account to another app. For me the MAIN issue (as well as ALL the above) is that I have visual differences, and the Mail and Calendar app we a loely simple view, no visually distracting things, and if i needed to action a more complex task (like retrieve an email etc) I would just log into outlook on my browser.

I hate the way I have to switch between Calendar and email, I hate the limited ways you can edit your view, I hate the way it takes SOOOO much RAM to even open the damn thing, that I now have to buy more for my poor desk top which struggles to open it every time!

I hate it when MS forces these things on us with no choice .

And don't get me started on Win 11!!

In conclusion this is awful for anyone with visual/learning needs, and i'm fuming.

STOP OPENING OUTLOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man what a crazy company. Lost al my recently incoming mail and when the button Go back to old version was deleted there was no way coming out of the loop. Crazy tactics!!! Lost my adresbook lost my Signature!! What are they doing. HELP doesn't work anymore. So no way to get in contact. Lost all my send mail. And have to push SEND RECIEVE everytime! Changed in APPS the mail program to MAIL instead of OUTLOOK and still they open craplook! Looks like the old days when your computer got infected with a hacker. Now i'm typing this to get my mail back. Can't get to my emails from clients and its a rabbithole. WOW MICROSOFT what a bad way to get people interested in a new program. And all the things that aint working WOW. :( This is like an amateur company!!!!

Will we be able to use the old style Mail app after 2024

Microsoft's incompetence knows know bounds.... Don't get me Started on Win11, the terrible Start Menu and loss of the Explorer Ribbon Menu both most of all of that OS's issues. Anyway, as to Outlook.

1. How do you NOT have a "Unified Inbox" option? That's part of the WHOLE POINT of using a single mail application for multiple email accounts.
2. Seriously, AD's....? Now, I'm okay with Ads, but they need to be "non-intrusive". Microsoft makes them intrusive.

• Ads Pretending to be an Email, so it irritates the **** out of you. Is uncomfortable.
• The application has a TON of "blank space" in the Top Bar, the Left Sidebar, etc..... They seriously "can't" put Ads in those spaces? Still seen, but not intrusive.
• Outlook on the Web, same problem... Their Right Ad Sidebar, takes up massive space, makes a person NOT want to use Outlook on the Web because it makes viewing your Emails, the Reading Pane, "uncomfortable". Again, they have a TON of unused "empty space" they could put Ads in, instead of making it uncomfortable to use the application.

3. Given the above issues, haven't even gotten on whether the design is better or not compared to Mail & Calendar.

I'm seriously not happy with Microsoft... I have to buy Windows PRO just to control things as we should be able to, but even then STILL can't get the actual good 10's Start Menu back, or the Explorer Ribbon Menu, among other things. I mean, why couldn't they at least given these as options in PRO? You know, for Pro people?

I'm a Power User, the loss of those things makes Windows literally UNUSABLE for me, save on this Laptop I'm typing on now that I only use occasionally, not being my primary system. My Home OS, I STILL am using Windows 10 because it works how it should.

To give you a clue, I have over 100 Start Menu programs all sized, grouped and positioned how I like.

Off the top of my head, the ONLY improvement they needed to do with Win10's Menu is "auto-add" EXE's/Tiles when the programs/apps are installed. Then we just organize the tiles, remove them etc. as we want.

11's Menu is literally UNUSABLE for me. And it's not acceptable that I should have to BUY a Third party program just for basically functionality. Sure, 11's menu is fine for the "average" person who has just a "couple" of programs installed. But many of us aren't "average users". They did not think this through at all.
