That's a real bummer. For the regular home user, the native Mail & Calendar app is still better than this "New Outlook" in plenty of ways. I'm OK with replacing the "regular Outlook" with this "New Outlook" though, but not the native Mail & Calendar app. No idea why Microsoft is forcing this thing down our throats; they're being awkwardly pushy, to the point it makes me unconfortable. It feels like some shady weirdo in the public transit, slowly reaching to my pocket while looking me dead in the eyes, grinning, trying to switch my wallet with another one he _thinks_ is "cooler" (but it isn't), without my consent.
The "New Outlook" and "Mail & Calendar" ratings and comments in Microsoft Store speak for themselves. Microsoft does not listen to its customers.
By end of 2024 I'll most probably switch back to Thunderbird, which I have ditched a long time ago in favor of the Mail & Calendar app.
