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 have been following "The New World Order" and what the outcomes have occurred throughout the world you'll notice the larger companies are now under attack. MS seem to be it's newest target, but this target has been in the making long before Bill Gates left MS.
    It's one BIG SCHEME to take over the world and install a single Dictatorial Gov..
    This N.W.O. entity I've been lightly following since the very late 1960s then REALLY noticing it picking up the pace under Bush Sr. when he mentions it in one of his speeches. Look up, "THOUSANDS POINTS OF LIGHT".

    Why the hell are MicroShaft forcing PAYING Outlook Classic customers to the steaming pile of faeces that is "Outlook New"?
    It takes a special kind of stupid to think that this is a good idea, let's run it down an bit:

    • Outlook New is barely functional.
    • Many customers cannot add IMAP accounts, just errors.
    • Cannot add "Basic 365" accounts, due to licencing, but you can add Outlook.com, Gmail, iCloud, etc. Literally locking out paying customers from using a free email client.
    • Huge amounts of exchange features missing,

    As that is just scratching the surface.

    I've said this for a few years now, it's like MicroShaft are deliberately trying to drive customers away.

    I've started looking at Zoho mail, and so far so good.

    They need to find the dev team and sack EVERYONE involved.

    So, uninstall appears to work at first, but New Outlook just comes back, at least it does for me. So, I think the next best option is to hobble it. Go into Apps->Default Apps, scroll down to both of the Outlooks. Go into each of these and set everything in both to Outlook, not Outlook(New). At least this way, when you click on a link that has anything to do with mail or calendar, or a program tries to open a mail-related link, it will use Outlook Classic.

    There is one option, MS-OUTLOOK, that will only allow you to select Outlook (New) or another Store App. I believe I have found the registry entry to change this, but I haven't encountered anything that calls for it yet so I don't know if I broke anything.

    Hope this helps someone!
