After Microsoft solved the browser issue by migrating Microsoft Edge towards the Chromium engine, the software giant is now reportedly likely to deal with another shortcoming of their desktop operating-system.

Windows 10 will soon get a new Outlook app for Windows 10, which time, it'd be based on Outlook on the web. The report originates from WindowsCentral, which says a preview version of the brand new app would go live later this year for insiders, and so the public launch could happen in 2022.

Microsoft currently offers two different desktop email clients for Windows 10 users, namely the Mail app that comes pre-loaded using the OS and the Outlook app that's area of the Office productivity suite.

But on the other hand, it's not a secret the default mail app still leaves a great deal to be desired, despite not necessarily lacking too many features than the full version of Outlook.
Mail app in maintenance mode

At this point, however, Microsoft has reportedly moved the Mail app to maintenance mode, which means you shouldn't expect any massive improvements anytime soon. While UI improvements for that Mail app continue to be expected later this season, the feature lineup would remain virtually unchanged, in mind has now switched for this new mail client based on Outlook on the internet. The app is codenamed Project Monarch, and the goal for Microsoft would be to offer a unified experience across all platforms, including both Windows and non-Windows os's.

On Windows 10, however, the Outlook app includes new capabilities, including lower resource usage and extra capabilities for example offline storage. This makes sense for an email app, especially as Windows currently lacks a strong client that can serve both consumers and businesses looking for a sophisticated app for use within company networks.
