I'm not using "the new Outlook", I'm staying with the "classic Outlook". Since I don't use it, I have to delete the app. To my surprise, it re-installs itself after a period of time. It's super annoying since I have to keep deleting it How do I stop this from happening?

    I have tried it and still have it set up as a back up. but it is a pain. Every time you open it you have to wait for it to down load all your emails al over again, it can take a couple of minutes. I don't like it at all.

    I love Wino Mail and how it does a number of things to improve upon Windows 10 Mail (e.g. email aliases, special folder configuration, etc) however this is the one thing that bothers me about it and is why I'm still using Mail for reading/viewing emails (not sending/deleting them though as Wino manages/does that better due to it actually working properly with the Sent Mail/Deleted Mail special folders).

    Thanks, Wino Mail looks like an excellent alternative to Windows Mail app, I will have a look at it!

    Lordslipgate's posted a great fix. Here it is. First uninstall Outlook THIS WORKS!!!!! It worked great!!! Go to (Github) sign up, look for the item )repo:matej137/OutlookRemover the button says code) download it, extract it then run the bat code as a administrator. The change to outlook prompt still shows up when you open Mail. Clicking on dismiss or allow but nothing will happen. (Thank the Lord).

    Outlook's font is too small and you're looking at all the accounts. I have 4 hotmail accounts and Mail is so much better for my eyes to work and see one account at a time.

    Really you can download the .zip and save it. When the .NetFramework upgraded the other day I just extracted the OutlookRemover-main.zip file again and ran the .bat file again as a administrator and I have the old Mail again. So hold onto the file.
