How do I download the "Classic" version of Outlook to my computer?

You can google for - stack social office - they advertise a lower price. When I purchased from them to see if it was a volume license (not legal to be sold), it redeemed in my Microsoft account, so it's not a volume license. I asked Microsoft if it was legit and heard crickets... which usually means the same as a politician's "no comment" ie, "yes, but we don't want to talk about it."

While you can't beat the price at stack social, I recommend the subscription - it's good more than one computer (2021 is one computer only - if the computer dies, you can move it to a new one) and for the cost of one $459 user license, would give you 6 1/2 years of new versions. The subscription cards go one sale occasionally and you can stack them - redeeming them before the subscription expires, with up to 5 years on the subscription.

I recommend physical key cards to redeem (unless you buy from the Microsoft store online) as some digital purchases (such as at amazon) are tied to the seller for renewal and often harder to cancel and cannot be stacked with licenses purchased elsewhere.

The family plan can be shared with 5 others - for 6 total (each can install it on up to 5 computers).

I feel raped as well, blackmailed, even. I have 2 older versions of Office Professional (not 2021). They could have easily updated our Outlook (Classic) to add the new authorization option. It's so confusing on all the versions of Outlook that they don't just say 'Classic' where you can use your PST files. I've used Outlook classic for over 20 years and have updated the stand alone Office pro over the years. I do not want a subscription, yet don't want to pay $459? for 2021 just to get Outlook to work. Shame on you MS for extortion. You have caused a lot of stress and heartache, I certainly hope the bad feelings and reputation created was worth it for you,

Great, another reason to ban outlook from my computers. I spent a lot of time to adapt (i feel to be raped by microsoft to use new outlook).

I now spent my time to adapt the remnants of old outlook to Thunderbird and than Finito MS Outlook and the MS arrogance of power to force users as they like to use MS Software.

Maybe this will be the first step to go to free software for office.

I am really not amused.

Do you have an office 365 subscription or own office desktop software? Outlook classic is included with all office suites EXCEPT for the Office for home & student version.
