      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.

        It’ll do older with a TPM port and module fwiw. Ran it like this on 7th gen Intel X99

          It’ll run on 3rg gen if you patch out the install limiter, who knows how long they’ll let that work.

    While I did not use it super often, the Windows Mail app is actually one of the few I enjoyed using.

    Use Thunderbird or the Mailspring app. Or, for WinUI glory, try the WinoMail app.

      Outlook enshittification is why I switched to Thunderbird over a year ago. It’s just gotten consistently better. Highly recommended.

        Been using Thunderbird for almost 20 years. It was good enough that long ago and it’s pretty awesome these days.

        Nope, my manager telling me I’m the first to know, and can’t share it in the groups

    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.
