How do you permanently turn off new outlook?

I don't like it, I don't want it, I am not going to switch to it, and I never want to see it again. For the longest time it would periodically switch to the new outlook, I would turn it off, and submit feedback stating the previous. Now it auto opens every single time. I do not ever want to see the new outlook again for the rest of my life. Do not make me switch to Mac or Linux or whatever because I am petty and will eventually become so disgruntled and delete everything Microsoft and never spend another dime on anything they make over something stupid. I want to know a way to permanently delete the new outlook off my system so it doesn't get to that point.

    If you find a suitable replacement, please let me know. Microsoft just hit me up for a 30% increase in my annual subscription rate!

    Search for Outlook Classic and put it down on your tool bar so you are selecting that and not the new outlook, that seems to work for me.

    I am having similar problems I have a calendar that is connected to another of my email addresses that I don't use and cannot turn it off it opens as my primary calendar. They have released this without proper testing the calendar does not display the date correctly you cant scroll down using your mouse wheel you have to go up and use the down arrow and so the list goes on. Outlook was bloat ware it had been modified and modified to the point where was as slow as a wet week and nearly as useless. Seems whoever is in charge of development is too busy being Woke to select people who know how to code. Hiding everything you want down a level in the menu is crazy stuff. I am off looking for a better mail client this is useless.

    The instructions to remove this are a piece of ****. I have Win 11 and I received instructions for Win 10 from Microsoft even when I told them specifically that I had Win 11. There is NO default app called Mail in the settings. I have been told to modify the registry. The idiots are guessing. I cannot turn off the new Outlook when I want to go back to the web-based server, so I am stuck with this garbage. Is there any intellectual that knows how to disable this piece of horse manure.
