Stop automatically installing the new Outlook

Thank you! This is what forcing **** on us has done. I have to officially jump from Windows mail to a 3rd party. There was no need for this. These type of tactics all these big companies do and some day people are gonna wake up to it all at once! I mean there is loyalty that occurs simply from the sake of set it and forget it. It works so why change it? Forcing Outlook mail like this is such a new tactic in being as aggressive as it is... I am surprised there is not more people complaining!

This is definitely malware behavior. So fed up with this new Outlook ****. Who came up with this bright idea, Microsoft?

Yes, the hack that was posted here works for now but I am wondering if Mail will work at all after 12/31/24. Doe s anyone know if there is another standalone program like mail? I have 4 email accounts and Outlook's font size is very uncomfortable. Anyone know of a standalone.

I would also like to know if an alternate app with a UI like Mail is around? Definitely an opening for a program designer to re-create mail as a standalone alternate to Outlook for us all to use.

I cant believe they would rather send us to rival companies than to just leave mail for us to use.
We aren't asking for new features, updates, support etc. We would just like the functionality to remain the same for us to continue using MAIL into the future. I feel that a company should be jumping at the opportunity to save some money in development costs and call it a win that so many users like and enjoy using an already developed and rolled out piece of software.
Sometimes having a bloated user interface is NOT something that the regular user would like or need. In comparison to something that is relatively straightforward to use for the average user or someone who has limited tech knowledge behind there belt.

I understand ending user support, updates and such, BUT to take away the feature and go to such lengths to stop users from staying with the older app by setting a date where they will actually block the functionality to FORCE consumers to the new software or to rival companies.

I find that tactic absolutely disgraceful for such a large company to employ against its own users, particularly when keeping Mail would cost less money and manpower than the new Outlook alternate anyway.

Yes, there are some alternatives to Windows Mail (and calendar), depending on your needs the following

are some of the best current alternatives, according to me:

• Wino Mail E-mail app that looks very much like Windows mail, it does not have the calendar function, it supports multiple accounts, has a free limited version and a paid version.
• Thunderbird Has the Firefox look, has both mail, calendar and instant messaging, supports multiple accounts, it is absolutely free, you can add extensions, and a lot more.
• Betterbird More or less the same as 'Thunderbird, but less buggy, and it works offline.
• Bluemail E-mail and calendar, supports multiple accounts, has a free and a paid version.

And there are of course many others.
