Microsoft will push updated versions of several long-criticized Windows 8 apps, including Mail, Calendar and People, the "Modern"-style program for keeping track of contacts, to the Windows Store.



From Computerworld:

Microsoft announced the updated apps in a blog post, which also described some of the changes. Mail, for example, will now filter messages to display only those not yet read, automatically complete addresses in the To: field based on prior messages, and support rights-managed emails, which typically restrict practices like forwarding or printing.

But Calendar will drop support for synchronizing with Google Calendar, according to The Verge, which quoted a Microsoft program manager.
