During the days of Windows 8, as ZDNet noted, Microsoft considered the built-in Windows Mail and Calendar apps the future of email. This isn’t the first time Microsoft tried to unify its mail offerings. I’m told that the existing apps will get a minor UI update later this year to bring them in-line with other UI updates going on with Windows 10’s big Sun Valley update, but the apps themselves will eventually be replaced by Monarch.
The final update should launch sometime in 2022. The first preview version of the new integrated app should arrive for testing before December.

To get a feel for the cross-platform Microsoft Outlook experience, you can log into your account Outlook account via your web browser, then install a Mail Progressive Web App (PWA) through Edge Chromium or Google Chrome. Only in 2022 will the Mail and Calendar apps on Windows 10 get discontinued. Instead, Microsoft is likely to offer a preview version before the end of 2021.
Users don’t necessarily have to wait until next year to experience the new app. I understand that it’s one of Microsoft’s goals to make the new Monarch client feel as native to the OS as possible while remaining universal across platforms by basing the app on the Outlook website. I’m told the app will feature native OS integrations with support for things like offline storage, share targets, notifications, and more. In 2022, this standardization will conclude with the same app on all three platforms, Windows, macOS, and the Web.īy offering a single product with the same user experience, Microsoft hopes to “have a much smaller footprint and be accessible to all users whether they’re free Outlook consumers or commercial business customers,” according to the report. Through a project called “Monarch,” the process will allow Microsoft to transition Outlook to one app built with web technologies. In making the changes, Microsoft plans to standardize the Outlook app experience across all platforms and the Mail and Calendar apps on Windows 10.
