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?
Using older versions of Outlook for Mac for personal email and calendar

I 100% agree with you... They have been pushing this new "upgrade" for a while... and they have forced the update several times. Each time it is forced... I revert back to the "old" version. I like it better... it works better... UGH..
I don't think you really do listen. People have been complaining about this new version ever since it came out but you haven't fixed any of the problems. The new version is terrible! Why take away simple functions like "add a folder at this level?"
It looks like you are now forcing us all to use the new version. I for one will be looking for another option to replace outlook.

The new version is appalling, and lacks countless features the current version has.
Microsoft either needs to allow us to keep the current version, or they really need to improve the new one to bring it up to spec with the old one.
Shame on you Microsoft for being such bullies.
