A TechNet or MSDN subscription is the only Microsoft sanctioned way. You can get TechNet pretty cheaply.
You can get Outlook 2003 and 2007 on Amazon and eBay too. See this for example: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Outlook-2003-OLD-VERSION/dp/B0000AZJVF
From $45 (open box) up to $116.99 (new).
I recently reinstalled windows onto my pc and when I tried to use outlook it forced me to use the new one. I looked everywhere for a solution and they all said to click the "try new outlook" off but when I do I get an CMD error telling me that it cant find outlook. so I think my problems will be fixed if I can just download an older version.
how do i get the old outlook ... much better than the new
Hi Paul!
Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum. Please accept our warmest regards and sincerest hope that all is well.
I understand that you'd like to go back to the old version of Outlook or what we now call the classic version of Outlook for Windows.
Assuming that you already are using "new" Outlook for Windows app now, you can revert this change by using the steps from the guide below.

If you still can't go back to "old" Outlook using the guide above, please consider re-installing Office using the link below.

I appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue.
Hope to hear from you soon.

The new version of Outlook is such garbage and I can’t seem to get the old version. Does anybody have a way for me to get it? I can’t believe how much functionality has been removed and how terrible the “new” product is. I’m so sick of every company’s “improvements” being a stripped away piece of trash. WTF are the morons at Microsoft smoking???
