Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 24, CTOnews.com reported last month that Microsoft is developing a new Outlook app and is expected to replace Windows's native email and calendar apps by the end of 2024.

▲ source Microsoft and Microsoft recently quietly accelerated the replacement process. In the Microsoft 365 MC650424 announcement, Microsoft said that from August this year, it will automatically replace the native mail and calendar applications on Windows with the new Outlook, but users can still install the old native applications on their own.

It is reported that Microsoft began testing the new version of Outlook in September last year, which integrates the mail, calendar and address book functions of the current Windows, similar to the Hub design of "all information in one place" in the early Windows 8 era, but with more emphasis on functionality.

To use the new Outlook app, you actually need to subscribe to Microsoft or Office 365. in other words, in the future, you will have to pay a monthly fee to use Microsoft's email, calendar, and contact services.

Microsoft has previously said that after the elimination of Windows native mail and calendar applications, users who do not have subscriptions "can only manage their mail and calendars in the web version of Outlook", but what is intriguing is that on the macOS platform, Microsoft has also launched a new version of the Outlook app, where users do not need to subscribe to use mail and calendar features.
