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 agree this is like the straw that broke the camels back kind of thing. I'm seriously about to switch completely over to something like ubuntu.

    So what I did is I uninstalled Outlook while the Mail app was still open, that way I made sure the folder got deleted. So I could create my own, edit the permissions, and so far, it's been a day and Outlook hasn't installed again.

    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.

    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
