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?
Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments

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).
Oh, so @Andrew, it does not work offline?
Bad news: Windows is going to stop us from using Windows Mail and Calendar entirely come December 31 (they also updated the banner prompt in line with this which is how I found out) –
"Support for Windows Mail, Calendar, and People will end on December 31, 2024. We're currently in the process of moving existing users to the new Outlook for Windows. After December 31, 2024, users will no longer be able to send and receive email using Windows Mail and Calendar. Any local emails, calendar events, and contacts stored in Mail, Calendar, and People will remain exportable following the steps in Export emails and contacts from Windows Mail or People and import to new Outlook."
Unbelievable what they're doing. Killing off a perfectly good product for something objectively worse.
"If you're not interested in trying the new Outlook for Windows, you can stop using Windows Mail and Calendar and instead manage your email and calendar through your service’s webmail application, or a different email client. Support for Windows Mail, Calendar, and People is ending in 2024 so if you don’t want to use the new Outlook for Windows after trying it, you'll need to move to a different application by the end of 2024. More information on specific end of support dates will be made available in accordance with the Modern Policy for product lifecycles."
"If you would like to go back to Windows Mail and Calendar, you can do so by selecting the toggle in the new Outlook for Windows. You’ll be asked to provide feedback on why you're going back – we encourage you to let us know what we can improve about the new Outlook for Windows so that our product team has the chance to address feedback before support for Windows Mail and Calendar ends in 2024."
What feedback could we possibly give to make New Outlook better? I highly doubt anyone at Microsoft would/could do anything in regard to something like "go back to Mail and Calendar" considering the way in that they're just unreasonably killing it off now.
Let them yet remove a new virus. Literally virus: non-functional and who knows what doing behind.
