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?

2023-08-25T12:27:49+00:00 I agree with this request completely.
New Outlook for Mac does not allow me to move messages to specific folders using rules on an IMAP account. For this reason it is a useless product for me and no amount of fancy UI changes can make me want to move to New Outlook.
I have around 20 different folders and I don't see why I would want to manually move every email that comes in. Unless this feature is added for IMAP accounts I cannot move to New Outlook so I hate being automatically forced into using it every month.
Turn this annoying feature off. You've broken your product, stop forcing me into using it.
Indeed well said!
