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?

    We need a tool to read emails in the Outlook MOBILE app, not on desktop computers. I have used the read. My email features every day for over a year. And it it was invaluable to me to keep up and stay organized, even when I had to listen in the car. Please create a mobile tool!! If I'm sitting at a computer, obviously I just READ emails and the out-loud function is not useful.

    Does that mean we will have voice command access on our mobile devices?

    Agreed, the “Play My Emails” feature was incredibly useful in staying productive when away from my desk. Surely, Microsoft can turn it back on until a replacement is available. If not, I will be moving over to iOS mail as at least Siri can read email and allow you to reply. Bad move Microsoft!
