Users who have not yet switched to Outlook have until December 31, 2024 to do so.If you open the Mail or Calendar app in the coming weeks, you may see a pop-up encouraging you to try the Outlook app. Windows 11 devices released in 2024 will come with the updated Outlook app as the default mail app. However, users still have the option to continue using Mail and Calendar until the end of the year.

Some users are hesitant to switch to Outlook, while others are excited about the updated interface. However, regardless of their preferences, users may find Microsoft's persistent reminders to switch to the new software annoying.
