After changing to the New Outlook, my office apps still try to use old outlook application when I try to share a document (File - Share - Email). It opens old outlook but wont send. It just sets in Outbox. I assume some clean up is necessary to remove remanence of old Outlook?

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For home

    Is Microsoft just ignoring everyone?

    This fix worked for me. My interest was to have a single outlook on my PC and not be confused about which one I use to save events and calendar files.

    At some point, it would appear as if there's no harmony with my events, having both old and new Outlook on the PC. So, I wasn't sure if my events were giving me notification and reminders adequately.

    So, for me, the interference is what I do not like.

    The only downside to this fix is that it doesn't remove the entire app and its files to give you back your space.

    But I'm cool with it pending when the total removal fix is fixed. :)

    I believe that the desktop version of new outlook is not ready yet. And because there has to be a desktop version when installing the office suite, it will automatically reinstall the old outlook software. At least that is the conclusion I eventually came to...

    This being said, the new outlook is still full of flaws and the old outlook (desktop version) is so popular for a reason. So, my advice would be to stick to the old desktop version and patiently wait for the future release of the desktop version of the new outlook.
