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?

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    This issue is REALLY ANOYING. Microsoft have not right to force users to use a particular app and to change settings on individual devices.

    I don't want to use Outlook at all. I want to stay with Windows Mail because I have multiple email addresses on multiple domains . I can see them all in one window with Mail. It is infuriating that Microsoft keep unpinning Mail from my task bar and replacing it with New Outlook something i have to revers several time a day to work.

    THIS NEEDS TO STOP NOW.

    same, still today the Mail app was working as it did last night, I even commented earlier about it.

    Then when I got the notification of this new reply, I click on the notification and it takes me to, you guessed it, the new Outlook

    Your fix worked great all day yesterday, no more outlook and could use windows mail multiple times. I'll check back here in a day or so to let tohers know if it keeps working, I fear MS might find a fix for this fix so they can force things.
