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

    I found my permanent solution:

    https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9ncrcvjc50wl <-- Wino mail on the microsoft storehttps://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9ncrcvjc50wl?hl=en-US&gl=US wino mail is quite blatantly a rip off of Mail, it has a similar appearance and similar features, and for all intents and purposes, functions the same as Mail.
    Able to easily add the same emails.

    So I am happy to have stumbled upon it, as now I can say good bye to a windows controlled email application completely

    IF YOU THOUGHT YOUR TROUBLES WERE OVER...

    According to BleepingComputer Microsoft will force install new Outlook in February.

    I am looking forward to see how this is going to turn out.

    The way it functions now, I have to manually uninstall the Outlook (New) app every single time I want to open the old mail app, so to return to the topic at hand. As this is my computer, and not Microsofts, how do I stop this so I can use the software I want to use?

    ^ THIS is exactly the problem. As someone said, "they're helping us to migrate". No, they're not. They're forcing us to migrate by using some kind of malware procedure to keep downloading a product I did not ask for or want, despite me constantly checking that I do NOT want to use Outlook, and unstalling Outlook *every* time.

    Now I have proceeded to install Mozilla Thunderbird on my 10+ Windows computers. Not overly happy as it certainly runs slower compared to the old Windows e-mail app, but still worlds better than Outlook with the scam ads pushed to the top and idiotic design. Anybody have suggestions for other 3rd party apps that run smoothly even on older hardware? It's certainly a bit of an issue for the slower of the bunch were the old app would open in seconds but Thunderbird takes considerably longer. I wish Apple's e-mail app was available on Windows, that would be awesome. Good, light weight, does nothing but what it's supposed to.

    WHAT A LOAD OF UTTER UTTER B*LLOCKS!!

    I know very well how to migrate, as I know how to keep on running Windows Mail AFTER the end date. But I'm not sure that you, in any way, are an experienced user, but probably just an annoying brat.

    Your arguments are **** crappy arguments with **** on it, and definitely doesn't hold up.

    This has absolutely zero to do with maintenance, but is all about ads, data collection and misunderstood intentions.

    They didn't have to kill the app, quite a lot of users are still running Windows Live Mail software on Windows 8, it is not dead.

    And making an app/software into a PWA doesn't change maintaining the differences across devices.

    Now stop wasting my precious time.
