Hi @Fabio,

At the moment, there is no built‑in option or setting to disable the “Keep your place when switching folders” behavior in the new Outlook for Windows since this function now applies automatically to all users of the new Outlook. 

If you still want to disable this function, my recommendation is to switch back to Classic Outlook if this behavior negatively impacts your workflow, as Classic Outlook does not include this change and still resets the folder view as before. 

On the other hand, you can submit feedback via this portal: Outlook · Community as this is how such changes are evaluated for optional controls in future releases.

I hope you find this information helpful. If anything is unclear, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
