REST instead of MAPI
At Ignite, the Outlook team said that "coming soon" we'd have the ability (in an Insider version of Outlook) to manually enable the new calendar functionality via a checkbox (see below) to switch from MAPI to REST. Any update on when this will roll out to an insider build?
Thank you for following up!
For Windows clients, there are two levels of Insider programs: Insider (formerly known as Insider Fast) and Monthly Channel (Targeted) (formerly known as Insider Slow). More info on the two levels here: https://insider.office.com/en-us/join/pc
We are planning for the new checkbox to be available for Insiders to try out early next year (January 2019).
Thanks!

Great - we've got lots of folks eager to give this a spin. And just to clarify: does this checkbox actually move Outlook completely off of MAPI, or just the calendar functionality will move to a REST mechanism?
