To the users of Windows Mail, a banner appeared at the top of your application warning of the impending changes to the mail manager. By 2024 the Windows Mail and Calendar applications will be gone leaving its users options for their email manager of choice. Although the vessel is going down, they do provide a lifeboat in the form of Outlook 2024 for eligible Microsoft users. The toggle switch on the right-hand side will start the download and start the process of transition.
The important thing to mention is that Outlook 2024 is different than the previous versions of Outlook you might be used to. The 2024 version is the free alternative offered instead of the soon-to-be-removed Windows Mail. The KartHost team has not personally had a great user experience with Outlook 2024. Its limitations and apparent early bugs have left much to be desired. It does not have the appeal nor the features that other email managers have.
