Original Publish Date: June 2023 | MC650424 Revised Date: August 30, 2023, based on Microsoft's Updated Message See text in red font.
Microsoft's revised announcement states that the Mail and Calendar Apps will no longer be supported at the end of 2024 and will become the New Outlook for Windows. In the meantime, users are encouraged to try the New Outlook for Windows while they can switch back and forth between the Mail App and New Outlook versions.
At the beginning of 2024, all Windows 11 devices will include the Free version of New Outlook for Windows as the default mailbox application.
Supported Accounts: The new Outlook for Windows can currently support Microsoft 365 consumer accounts such as Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, and Live.com, as well as Microsoft 365 work or school accounts and Gmail. In the near future, we plan to add support for Yahoo!, iCloud, and other email providers through IMAP and POP. Stay tuned.
For those who want to learn more about the exciting features of the New Outlook, head over to New Outlook for Windows - YouTube for a series of how-to videos. And don't miss out on the advantages of being an early adopter - check out this must-see video to encourage a smooth transition.
Share how you use the classic feature to give Microsoft constructive feedback on missing features. To do so, select the Help option in the ribbon while in New Outlook.

I've checked out the new Outlook. I'm not liking the calendar changes at all. I work in an office where I have multiple staff calendars open. They no longer auto adjust to view all on one screen and no overlay feature (which I didn't like anyway). I see you can scroll back and forth, but that is more bothersome in a busy office. I also see the Card option for viewing contacts is no longer in the program. I know there's still over a year before it comes out so hopefully they'll put these features back in.
Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I will add these features to my watch list.
I encourage you to give MS feedback.
Stay connected.

@Teresa_Cyrus It appears that with the removal of com applications, multiple third party apps are going to break sadly. Personally we are noticing Boldon James classifier and Proofpoint's phish reporting application break.
Are there plans to eventually integrate add-ins back to the ribbon?

@pantherfan69 I assume that you are a user of the desktop Outlook application? While the new Outlook can be accessed from the desktop Outlook application, I believe that it is a substitute for the Windows Mail application, and hopefully it will not be a replacement for the desktop application for at the moment, at least, it does not support any automation.

@Victor_Ivanidze But not VBA and I'm too old to learn a new language and how to get it to integrate Excel, Word and Outlook in an application such as my MergeTools Add-in - https://mergetoolsaddin.com/

Thank you for sharing your experience. Just remember, I am an independent advisor, so here are my comments.
You're the first to mention issues with add-ins not functioning properly. I'll need to investigate further to determine the cause.
My initial thoughts are that third-party apps must be compatible due to Microsoft's shift from classic to modern Outlook. It may also be helpful to reach out to the makers of the third-party apps to inquire about their plans. In some cases, these makers may release an application without providing updates for future development.
Also, please give MS the feedback by hitting the Help button and selecting Feedback.
If you find this information helpful, please mark it as the best response or like it which will help others.

Hi @Eve_Simple
In the calendar app, the tasks manager converts to the To-Do App. It is very different than the Tasks Manager, so I encourage you to get familiar with it.
It is the next video on my channel, I will create.
So, stay connected.

Hi @Yuval Welis,
Please update your version of the old Mail Application in the Microsoft Store. See the image below of my Mail App version, then try to connect to Gmail again. Also, you should have the Help | Support.
Let me know if this works for you.

Hi @phen314,
Based on my understanding of Office 2021. It is a one-time purchase and download. You will not get any new features. These changes should not impact you.
Great question. Thanks for asking. This question will help other Office 2021 users.
