Hello,
Open the settings menu and search for "default apps" find classic outlook and set the ".eml" format to default to classic outlook so any "mail us" links on websites open classic instead of new.
Hope this helps,
JC

I am using Office Home and Business 2024. When I click "email us" from a website, it automatically directs me to New Outlook instead of Classic which is what I use. How can I set it to default to Classic?
Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For home

2025-12-12T13:39:18.14+00:00 I attempted to use the AI answer provided and went to the registry editor. I got to the point where I was instructed to look for Use new outlook. It was not an option, and I did not understand how to type the info suggested.
