hate the new outlook that is replacing win mail. any alternative that is similar to win mail that is simple and fast to load?
this is probably worse than the decision to remove group all at task bar and so many people refused to upgrade to win 11 because of that. what is Ms thinking?
Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity

Not so simple. "Outlook for Windows vs Windows mail" doesn't fully encapsulate the issues in toto here.
?
Well there's folks that have used older versions of Outlook. Me: 2013!!! so I've watched all these notices/warnings/**** communications for geeze...years.
This threads main issue is not what you think.
So once Gerard figures this out and creates the batch file...THEN he will be able to get his Microsoft domain emails (hotmail.com, live.com, MSN.com, OUTLOOK.com etc. ? ) Yes? No? Even though MS says you can't get to any of those without a program/mail handler that is compatible with the New Authorization system? (yeah, somewhere I have that MS email from nearly a year ago warning me of the deadline.)
Oh, maybe you mean he can use the old email to get his gmail, comcast, yahoo, whatever emails like I have done for years. MS has not at all been upfront and helpful in this transition. (MS user since 1990s...nothing has changed...if anything worse.)
Why would you have more than 10 email accounts? Do you mean your group or organization has more than 10? If just you...is creepy...are these for spam or phishing?

Which points to the link to this post --- which on the last post stated it doesn't work anymore.

Premature Celebration.
That reddit thread literally links to the workaround I found and I posted here. Batch script that repeatedly uninstalls new outlook and launches old mail.
