Outlook for Mac is periodically insisting on changing to the new Outlook for Mac experience. I do not want this. Period.
I have tried the New Outlook and reverted back to the current and much-preferred version, since the New Outlook does not suit my needs. Moreover, after an automatic restart into the New Outlook and having to revert, it is not returning to the state it was in. I do not want to use the New Outlook and I certainly don't want to fix all issues after reverting.
How can I permanently prevent Outlook for Mac from forcing me to use (and revert from) the New Outlook?
Can I set a preference so that it will not ambush me again in the future?

Aren't you worried that it will, and then you won't have the toggle switch to change back?
If you want to re-enable the toggle, paste the same command into Terminal but change the last character from 0 to 1.
defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook EnableNewOutlook -int 1

I agree!!!
I HATE BEING FORCED TO CHANGE, and the new software doesn't work for me. Everything is screwed up. It's so different, I can't figure anything out, much less conduct my daily business. If you don't stop forcing me to go to your new software, I will be forced to find something other than Microsoft Office for my work e-mail. If you had just improved somewhat on the existing software it would make sense. This new software doesn't even resemble your old one. If I wanted new software I would have swtiched on my own. I don't like the new software, please don't force this change!
