What’s a good replacement for Microsoft’s Mail and Calendar apps?
Q I’ve been meaning to replace my Microsoft’s Mail and Calendar apps all year, after support ended last December. What’s a good alternative for a Windows 11 PC?

A If you want to keep your email and calendar in one place, you won’t go far wrong with Thunderbird (www.thunderbird.net). It’s been around for more than 20 years and still has a very traditional look and feel, with a pane-based layout that you can customise depending on your screen size.
