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.

    This is the new development model for MSFT and even other software companies now, like a fully deployed beta test. They just toss things out and wait to see what is broken while the users suffer through it, and then ignore what everyone has to say about it. At the very least, tell people - "hey we know stuff is missing, bear with us."

    They used to relegate this behavior to "Insiders" but my bet is so many people got tired of screaming into the wind there (myself included), that they bowed out and just decided to cast a wider net by experimenting on the user base. Fun.

    Mind you, I still favor their ecosystem above all others, and am heavily invested in it. I just wish it seemed like they cared.

    When you share PC with someone that doesn't own Office365 (and classic apps for it) it sucks if you want to use Windows native outlook for that person and Classic Outlook from 365 for yourself at the same PC account.

    You can use both. Pin each to the task bar or type Outlook on the start menu and open classic - the icons are different.

    it's sadly the only way so far. it works, and should be ok, but not always.

    When you share PC with someone that doesn't own Office365 (and classic apps for it) it sucks if you want to use Windows native outlook for that person and Classic Outlook from 365 for yourself at the same PC account.

    you can stop with replies about using diferent PC accounts. it's not working for some people setups, and never will.

    Add new way of main Win account setup without passwords that kill quick network connections on closed networks.

    MS is doing their best to scare people away from them. i hate iOS. don't like linux for the time it needs from user if something is not working. chrome OS/steam OS won't work for their flexibility is lacking. But with moves MS is doing makes me think to rethink my choices.

    Those should only be a couple that are limited to new Outlook, because they are only supported in new outlook - ms-outlook protocol is one.

    Change is inevitable. I prefer classic (old) outlook.
