Microsoft: Microsoft announced that Windows Mail, Calendar, and People apps will no longer be supported after 31 December 2024. "Support for Windows Mail, Calendar, and People will end on December 31, 2024," the Microsoft Support website explains. According to Oman News Agency, Microsoft is currently in the process of transitioning existing users to the new Outlook for Windows. After December 31, 2024, users will no longer be able to send and receive email using the Windows Mail and Calendar applications. However, any local emails, calendar events, and contacts stored in Mail, Calendar, and People will remain exportable, ensuring users have access to their information. For the past six months, Microsoft has been proactively showing pop-ups within the Mail and Calendar apps to inform and encourage users to switch to the new web-based Outlook for Windows 11. This move is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to streamline its email and calendar services under the more robust Outlook platform.
