GET RID OF NEW OUTLOOK NOW - Revert To Classic PLEASE

So, my problem stemmed from an installation error by Dell on a new laptop. There was a conflict between the 365 version and stand-alone version. After some quality time with Dell support and a re-install, all is good. I am back to the classic version where I can now successfully import old pst files. Dell support had never seen this issue before, so very quirky.

Same old pain in the ****, "Please Sir I want some more". It's outrageous that after uninstalling New Outlook, running your crappy registry workarounds, countless toggles of the Try New Outlook button and having a paid Business Standard subscription, you guys keep shoving the "New Outlook" upon me and my users. Businesses will not accept this. Businesses cannot accept this. Why do you still do this? Bring the old Mail app back for regular users, let paying customers do their stuff on the classic outlook. This is an outrage. This shouldn't happen. Get it through your thick heads.

I tried every tip that I could find online with no success. I finally had to resort to having a Microsoft technician take over my computer remotely to accomplish this. However, I am still cleaning up the mess that this all created. New Outlook is just plain awful! I am now running Classic Outlook and have permanently uninstalled new Outlook - and good riddance. I am generally pleased with Microsoft programs, but new Outlook is just plain ****!

I did regedit and looked for this key entry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences.

What I found was

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0 ...

My WINVER is 22h2

is there a way to revert to older Outlook?

Thanks Lee Perkins

I have installed a standalone version of Office 2024 Professional Plus on a new computer running Windows 11. I went ahead and set up new Outlook (regrettable) with my email accounts and then my emails were downloaded. One of the first things I noticed is that new Outlook is quite counterintuitive and settings are either hard to find - or nonexistent. For example, I can't find any way to adjust the Junk email settings (it's simply not there). Secondly, when I tried to import some .pst files, I found that I would only be able to do so using Classic Outlook. Really?

Anyway, when I toggled to Classic Outlook I got that older version, except that it was blank (no emails, no email accounts, etc.). It's as if I would have to set it up all over again.

When I went to the Start menu and then chose Outlook (not new Outlook) from the apps, it just opened the new Outlook version.

When I tried to install Classic Outlook software from Microsoft, it downloaded, but then I got an error message saying "We can't install" followed by "To install this product, first uninstall the following product(s) Microsoft Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 -en-us."

When I tried to install Classic Outlook from Microsoft using another online source, I next got a similar error message in Spanish. (?)

I even tried your suggestion above of going into the Registry Editor and found that the values were already set to 0.

I just want to have all of my information in Classic Outlook and forget that I ever saw this awful dysfunctional new Outlook.

Lastly, shame on Microsoft for bringing out this flawed beta software! :(

Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated because I'm exasperated!
