Why is Microsoft trying to force me to use outlook? The app is just awful and I will not use it. I have had a hotmail account since 2000 and use mail tab on windows. Now it keeps wanting to switch me to the piece of **** outlook. Forcing this on people is ****. I will stop using microsoft email completely if this is the way it will be. Why are you doing this to people. Searching the web shows that this is really a bad move from Microsoft and is a ploy to make more money from ads. If this is the case,<removed>

I hate this. I had enough tonight. Good riddance MS Mail. Uninstalling this nagging garbage.
And for the record, because of your policies on this, i will NEVER purchase office or outlook.
Customer Lost.
"What I did:
Open ‘Apps and Features’ with Win + I ---> Apps ---> Apps and Features
Find the pesky Outlook in this list ---> uninstall it! After OS updates check if it has been downloaded again, after updates uninstall it again.
You will also find yer beloved ‘Mail and Calendar’ in that list. Make sure it's there, if not, they've removed it (probably going to happen after Dec 31, 2024)"
So simple yet so effective! Thanks a million
Amazing,
then simply click on the mail icon and choose to use the old system from windows library.
it worked in 10 seconds!!!
