Most important question to me for the new Outlook that will replace my Mail and Calendar is "will it now fully support 3rd party accounts like Gmail?". Still it feels like nobody cares that such basic functions like receiving a calendar invite and answer (accept/decline) never worked properly with Gmail accounts.
You can receive invites from other accounts to your Gmail and Mail recognizes and displays the invite properly. However if you accept the invites it does not create the corresponding entry in the calendar.
Highly annoying that such a basic functionality does not work since years now. Only half baked support for such 3rd party mail accounts will not force me to change my main mail account to Microsoft. If this is again not properly working in the new Outlook I feel more forced to switch to an 3rd party mail and calendar application as well.
