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?

    Don,

    Thanks. Your suggestion worked.

    . Your suggestion and link worked! I'm back in business. Many hours of effort will be saved by reverting to the classic version.

    Great. Glad to have helped.

    They didn't listen. Despite the feedback, they pushed it on us anyway.
    Now there's ads in my e-mails and my inbox; oh, and shocking nobody, $2 monthly fee to go ad-free.
    From Microsoft, as if they <removed> need ad revenue or a subscription service. The greedy corporate rats.

    BRILLIANT!!!! Executing as we speak!!

    Thanks for the update!!

    This is from the reddit dialog box for others to follow....

    Solved

    No more threats about them eventually forcing you to use the new (inferior) version either.

    • Make sure you have automatic app updates turned off in the Microsoft Store (Open App Store and change the Setting)
    • Copy this link: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfhvqm?hl=en
    • Go to: https://store.rg-adguard.net/
    • Select the Retail ring, (Paste above link in to the box for the URL Link, You will have a bunch ads on this page you need to downsize so you can see the list of links below)
    • When generated, select microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_16005.14326.21422.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle. (I copied the link and pasted in to a new page to start the download. Chrome blocked it initially but I click on "Download Insecure" and Reinstalled and then Launched it.)
    • Select Reinstall and confirm. (Once Mail opens you will have to change your setting for Mail to your desired configuration again.)

    It may require you to open and close the app a couple of times before the button goes away once and for all.

    If the link didn't work, copy and paste it into another browser.

    I hope this helps anyone at the end of their rope like I was, Good luck and enjoy while you can!!
