Starting from 2024, new Windows 11 devices will come with Outlook as the default email app instead of the current Mail and Calendar apps. Microsoft recently announced that it will stop supporting the Mail and Calendar apps by December 31, 2024, encouraging users to switch to Outlook, which is part of the Office 365 suite.
This change means Windows 11 users will need to transition to Outlook for their email and calendar needs before the end of 2024. Microsoft plans to help users through this process by sending them notifications, although users can still use the Mail and Calendar apps until the cutoff date if they prefer.
The move is aimed at improving user experience and aligning with Microsoft's overall strategy. Throughout the year, Microsoft will gradually stop providing updates and support for the Mail and Calendar apps, making them outdated by the end of 2024. After this date, users won't receive security updates or bug fixes for these apps.
Outlook offers advanced features like a comprehensive calendar and to-do list, making it a faster and more user-friendly option. It also integrates with other Office apps for enhanced productivity and supports third-party email accounts like Gmail and Yahoo.
