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?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
The read your emails functionality in the app was far more powerful than what can be done in a browser.
You can control what emails are red when, skip messages delete messages reply to messages… many more features that were extremely valuable.
Something that was fantastic when I was driving in the car and needed to catch up.
In my car? While driving? On my phone?
🙄😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ummm no.
A work around would be to read your email in a web browser, then use the web browser’s read function.
Agreed. Very unfortunate. I am hoping that at some point Microsoft hears and does something as a result of those of us on this thread.
This was something that was a great productivity boost for me. I'll be sad to see it go. Genuinely was one of the best features of the app.
