Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
It appears that Outlook does not care!
Why is the "play my emails" feature in outlook being retired in June 2024? I use it for 2 hours everyday, and it makes me much more efficient.

Why is the "play my emails" feature in outlook being retired in June 2024? I use it for 2 hours everyday, and it makes me much more efficient. Will it be replaced by another feature that reads my emails within Microsoft outlook?

2024-08-28T21:29:37+00:00 This is not at all a helpful replacement. I use the play my emails feature on my phone during my commute to work. I don’t have internet on my laptop in my car to use windows 11 and it’s not a suitable replacement. The beauty of the previous solution was that I could ask my phone to play my emails while in the shower and commuting to work, so I could not start my 8am meeting with 100 unread messages from overnight emails from Australia, Ukraine, China and Europe. I’m pretty sure my laptop is not capable of being in the shower…
