Windows Mail is being discontinued, what do I have to do?

I've received information from Windows that Windows Mail is being discontinued and replaced by Outlook. However, I'm already using an earlier version of Outlook (alongside Mail). Do I still need to do anything?

Attention, now it’s getting complicated.

The Outlook from the Office package has NOT to do with the Outlook available soon on Win11.

The free Outlook for Win11 is a full catastrophe, all IT managers, IT news pages and even the BSI warn NEWS before using.

Because: in the new Outlook for Windows 11, all login data for your mails stored in the app will be transferred to Microsoft, so the Microsoft VOLLZUGRIFF gets to all your mails.

I would switch to my old outlook now

How old is the Outlook?

Gmail blocks access with outdated apps. So I went to Thunderbird as a mail client.

Outlook is from 2012

Even my Outlook 2016 is blocked by GMail.

My tip: Forget Windows Mail and Outlook and restart Thunderbird instead. Thunderbird is free and open-source.

No, it shouldn’t matter, because Outlook is directly accessing mailboxes and Thunderbird too. They then simply run parallel to each other, but have nothing to do directly with each other.

The problem is that Thuderbird does not match Apple.
