Windows Mail will cease to work by year's end
On December 31 of this year, support for Windows Mail will disappear. Although this was already known, it's now clear that the application will also
good, good, now do the rest of Windows
Dunno, I'd say they're working pretty hard on this already:
Windows 10 is about to expire
Windows 11 has extra ads and telemetry.
Windows 11 has invasive AI recall
Windows 11 won't run on hardware < 8th* gen Intel or without TPM chips
All the new apps are getting AI components that can snitch on what you're doing. You can't even post something into notepad without it being aware of what's in your content and calling home.

While I did not use it super often, the Windows Mail app is actually one of the few I enjoyed using.
It struck a balance between good design, features and lack of bloat
that'd why they had to remove it
That was my thought as well.
Use Thunderbird or the Mailspring app. Or, for WinUI glory, try the WinoMail app.
Time to back to the Outlook Express.

Grandma's been waiting for you.
Nope, my manager telling me I'm the first to know, and can't share it in the groups
Is that still working?
Kinda, there is a clone: OE Classic [not an ad]
Windows Live Mail still living on with occasional repairs needed.
Outlook Express has died though.
So has incredimail I think.
Man I miss Eudora back in the day. I used the mail client in SeaMonkey before I just started using my phone to check mail.
The 90s and 2000s were a simpler time.
Sometimes I set the Eudora xylophone sound as a mail notification on my phone. Nobody has noticed though.
