Microsoft rethinks death sentence for Windows Mail and Calendar apps
Microsoft intends to shut down its at-times-maligned Mail and Calendar apps, fold their capabilities into a new Outlook for Windows, and use the opportunity to – unsurprisingly – bring in more AI.earlier this month, Microsoft said Windows 11 devices shipped next year will include the new Outlook for Windows as the default mailbox app, which will include both mail and calendar tools. Thus, no need for the operating system's Mail and Calendar apps: just use the next Outlook instead.
However, despite some criticism of the apps from users over the years and a general indifference from Microsoft that seemingly includes no major updates since Windows 11 launched two years ago, there were some strong negative reactions to the above decision.Given that, the Windows titan seems to be rethinking some of its plans, according to a note to customersby Michael Reinders, a systems engineer and Office 365 specialist with travel industry services company Trisept Solutions.
In its note announcing the move away from the usual Mail and Calendar apps, Microsoft wrote that the"new Outlook for Windows is for everyone.
