damnwindows I used the toggle in Outlook to return to original outlook, but all I can get are my emails from before 11/8/2023, which is when I switched to New Outlook.  When I switched, it switched my outlook email to my google email, rather than my mail from xfinity.  I just quit using it, but then thought I'd try to fix it.  Clicking the toggle was easy, but now I don't know how to get my mail into Outlook.  I don't know if that makes sense but when I try to download email, nothing new comes in.  Help!

    It's just happened to me again. Microshyte decided to change my client to outlook for the second time without my permission. Luckily AndyTpc's solution worked yet again.

      Not sure why so many are going through such convoluted processes to solve this. It's happened to me several times and all that was needed to revert was to uninstall the Outlook app. If you try to access Mail right away it will error but after only a few minutes it just starts working again.

       

      Note: I'm NOT talking about old and new Outlook. Just Mail, when MS seemingly sneaks Outlook in on us when we're not keeping a sharp eye on everything.
