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?

    So I did the whole folder thing and New Outlook keeps installing as soon as I close the Mail app.

    I don't even use the Old Outlook, I like the Mail app in particular because it's so simple and sleek, no banners, no garbage, just my emails. I don't know why they're so obsessed with pushing their new programs if users don't want to migrate. Like how does this affect them? If I don't get more updates or support, what about it? The app worked perfectly fine as it was, there was no need to replace it or update it.

    Well, I went ahead and did all the process all over again, and it seems to be working so far, let's see if it lasts until tomorrow

    As of 22H2 not many of these fixes seem to work anymore. open and close the mail app fully 3 times and windows update automatically detects that and installs Outlook. Absolutely horrendous piece of malware. It's literally impossible to keep uninstalled, that's why I just automated it's removal.

    It says: "4. Create a new folder..." but that folder is already there.

    You probably didn't uninstall Outlook (new) from step 2.
