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.

    Such a disgusting lack of care from Microsoft for any of their customers that support them. I highly recommend switching off any Microsoft products you are paying for wherever possible. Start small.

    If you are using a MS365 subscription product and are signed in, and cannot find or launch Classic Outlook - go to https://portal.office.com.

    Click Apps and devices from the left navigation bar.

    On the page that opens click the red button -Install Office.

    The installer OfficeSetup.exe will download to your computer, now just run the installation again.

    This product is a classic example of how not to release software, it has been rushed out with heaps of bugs and some functions not working, and as usual Microsoft wont acknowledge they got it wrong. Why they want to bury commonly used functions one level down and do away with the traditional Menu Bar across the top I cannot understand, having to drill down to get to functions that were on the top screen like "Unread Mail" is just plain Dumb. For some reason now I cant save files directly to my server as the software claims it contains system files, "Hello it is a file server" of course it contains system files.

    Looks like I am going to have to find another email client.

    I just want to delete Outlook. I use Gmail and I'm happy with it. Outlook keeps bouncing up warning or alert about Privacy Preferences. No matter how many times I close it, it continues to open again and again,.

    Please help me turn it off. I still use Word and I still pay for that, I don't want Outlook on my Mac,
