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?

    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.

    This was an incredible feature and time saver. Looking forward to a replacement solution being released.
