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.

so the Microsoft VOLLZUGRIFF gets on all your mails.
Thanks for the quick answer! I was afraid. I would switch to my old outlook now, but don’t get my second mail connection (google mail). There I still have to try (on the vof beaten path, it depends on login to the server)
I have both accounts with gmail on the phone, can you get that on the laptop?
How old is the Outlook?

Gmail blocks access with outdated apps. So I went to Thunderbird as a mail client.
Even my Outlook 2016 is blocked by GMail.
Outlook is from 2012. That could be the reason for problems.
I have now added my web.de address to gmail and go directly to the site via the internet.
My tip: Forget Windows Mail and Outlook and restart Thunderbird instead. Thunderbird is free and open-source.
Thank you! Try it tomorrow. Are there any problems when my Outlook from 2012 also accesses it?
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.
Thank you! I can’t afford Apple anyway…
Thunderbird.
