End of an era: Microsoft is planning to phase out Windows 11’s Mail and Calendar apps by the end of this year
- Windows 11's built-in Mail and Calendar apps will no longer be supported by the end of 2024.
- Users can still access emails and calendar events in view-only mode in the Mail and Calendar apps.
- Users will need to switch to the web-based Outlook app to send or receive emails.
- Microsoft aims to unify email and calendar management in Outlook.
- The Mail and Calendar apps will be accessible via a 'view-only' mode.
- The 'view-only' mode currently doesn't work offline, but Microsoft is working on adding support for this in the next few weeks.
- Users have the option to downgrade their Mail and Calendar apps to previous versions but this loophole will stop working on December 31, 2024.
- Some users have expressed concerns about the web-based Outlook app's lack of offline access and inconsistency with Windows 11 design.
- Users can export data from the Mail and Calendar apps to third-party apps or Outlook.
- Microsoft's decision to phase out the Mail and Calendar apps may not be well-received if the replacement Outlook web app lacks features and polish.
