The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook.
To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine.
It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
