How To Uninstall The New Outlook App From Windows 10/11

The new Outlook for Windows app will soon replace the Mail and Calendar app in Windows 10 and Windows 11. The new Outlook app is web-based and borrows UI clues from the Outlook.com website.

The new Outlook app is a very competent webmail client for Windows. It offers everything you can find in the Mail app and does much more. Microsoft has been adding new features and options to the new Outlook app. So, you can expect it to be a feature-rich webmail app soon.

While the Outlook app looks very promising, many users prefer using third-party apps such as Mozilla Thunderbird or eM Client. Users who have been using third-party email clients might not want to switch to the new Outlook app.

If you are also one of those users, you might want to uninstall and remove the new Outlook app from your Windows 10/11 installation.
