      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 < 7th 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.

    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.

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

      It struck a balance between good design, features and lack of bloat

    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.
