About this tag
Outlook Lite is a lightweight Android email app from Microsoft designed for older phones, limited storage, and slower networks. Microsoft has announced its retirement, with new installs stopped in October 2025 and full mailbox functionality ending on May 25, 2026. After that date, the app will no longer work as a mail client. Users are encouraged to migrate to the full Outlook Mobile app or use Outlook on the web. The shutdown reflects Microsoft's consolidation of its mobile email strategy into a single flagship experience. Discussions on WindowsForum cover key dates, migration steps, and the impact on users who relied on Outlook Lite's smaller footprint.
