Remove NEW Outlook from system and revert to MAIL

How are you configured? My Win11 computer was working with Mail, but it started using Outlook, I don't use this device a lot for mail, but I sometimes sent links or images, and it started using Outlook recently. However, I discovered that things weren't being sent! (shares). Recently when I tried to open Mail. OUtlook tried to open, but it would not open because I do not have a paid 365 subscription.

I tried to eliminate Outlook by deleting it and selecting mail and calendar options. I reestablished my account. I thought I was doing it in classic Mail.

However today I made a screenshot and selected "share " and sent it by email, I thought. But. as it went, there was a momentary notice that it was being sent my Outlook. So it actually went into nevernever land, with no warning to me that my message was dead. That had happened before. Now if I start a message in Mail it will work but I must be phsyically in mail. If I try to share an item from outside of Mail, it screws me by pretending it is sending - but since I don't have Outlook, it just secretly junks my mail with no warning..

Do you know how to choose Mail for sharing (from the app you are sharing from)? I deleted Outlook, AND they say I have no right to use OUtlook, but my computer still pretends to "send" stuff I want to share by Outlook.

Half an hour after I sent two messages in MAIL, I tried to open Mail again and only Outlook would open. I can't use Outlook not having a subscription, so I uninstalled it again (perhaps the other one I uninstalled was classic OUtlook. This was New). My computer certainly is doing its **** to keep me from using Mail. The only way I can reliably get mail services is through my browser.

Now: I just found that Outlook opens when I try to open Mail, and that the OUtlook (new) I tried to uninstall is still there, It did not uninstall).

I won't be using this computer much if I have to use a browser to send mail.

cancel the out look gmail Im not registered need my old gmail

There is a batch file called 'OutlookRemover' that you need to download on your PC to get rid of the new Outlook and permanently restore the Mail and Calendar app. You can download the batch file here from GitHub. Next, unpack the ZIP file and run the outlook.bat batch file as an admin. And that's pretty much everything that's required of you to bring back the Mail and Calendar app 

This script prevents the Outlook (new) app from installing by installing a custom blank app with the same package id as the original one, thus making it´s installation fail. To do this, it enables the developer mode via registry and registers the modified New Outlook manifest as an unpacked Appx package.

Click on "(New Outlook) remover 0.95" to download zip file on GitHub

When you download the zip file extract it and run Outlook.bat file as administrator (right click on file and "run as administrator")

I am not sure how much longer I am willing to waste time to keep Mail up and running the next time this happens. Hopefully this works for a long while. This starting to fell too much like pirating software. That's almost the allure to this. I am too stubborn to give up. I am sure I would be far happier with Thunderbird and save time, but what is the fun in that.

Robert you are an absolute legend thank you!

Now I don't have to uninstall Craplook (new) every darn day when I turn my PC on.

Did you write this batch? I send my gratitude to whoever did if it was someone else.

You are absolutley right about it feeling like pirating software now. The lengths we need to go to so that we can use the software WE LEGITIMATLEY PAID FOR is beyond absurdity.

I also agree with your final statement. I too, believe I would be better off using thunderbird 🤣🤣.

Cheers to us stubborn pr1ck5! 🍻🍻🍻

Let's say that you have a Chevy. You've used it for decades. One day you go into your garage and your Chevy has been replaced by a Fiat. You don't want the Fiat. You try everything within your power to get rid of the Fiat. You go back to the Chevy dealer and they simply don't respond and they have no way to get your Chevy.
Microsoft changed me to Outlook without any approval from me. I can't get rid of it and use something else.

Do you understand the issue now?

I AM IN MY EIGHTIES AND YOU ARE CAUSING ME PALPITATIONS DUE TO YOUR NEW RUBBISH OULOOK MAIL. IT IS CHAOTIC. PLEASE RESTORE THE OLD SYSTEM WHICH WAS PERFECT BEFORE I HAVE A STROKE OR HEART ATTACK.
