Why would MS develop two mail clients? Seems like a PITA. Developing one must be painful enough. What purpose / user target do they both have?

What purpose / user target do they both have?
- gigglesupstairs 3y agoI remember getting a prompt some months back or perhaps even a year or so back that default mail app is being deprecated and new outlook will replace it. So it’s possible its development has already stopped and they’re now focusing on only one client. I also doubt it’s a full fledged outlook app bundled with Office and could be more like outlook express of yore.

- zdimension 3y ago- Outlook (forever-...) - Windows Messaging (95-98?) - Outlook Express (XP) - Windows Mail (Vista) - Windows Live Mail (7?) - Outlook Web App (?) - Windows 8 Mail (Metro) - Windows 10 Mail (UWP) - Outlook ("New Outlook") - another one I missed?
- hulitu 3y ago> - another one I missed? Taking into account that they just released the "NewTeams", which is the same crap like the old one, i would say, yes. /s
