After a comprehensive update, the new version of "Microsoft Outlook" can help you manage your mail, calendar and contacts more easily. Let's follow the editor to take a look at these cool new features.
The new interface is
more spacious and the design of rounded corners makes "Outlook" more in line with the new aesthetics of macOS Big Sur. Tap "New Outlook" in the upper right corner of the App to open the new look. (You can also switch back to the traditional design of "Outlook" at any time.)
Efficient contact.
In the new "People" view, you can open "Microsoft Teams" or IM chat, send meeting invitations, and communicate with the most frequently contacted friends, Family members interact more with colleagues. Pro tip: When scheduling a meeting, "Outlook" can check the calendars of all participants and find a meeting time that suits everyone.
Focus on the unified inbox will display the messages received by all your mail accounts, and the "focused inbox" will only display the most important messages. You can use "Pause for a while" to temporarily shelve non-urgent messages until you have time to reply to them, or use "Ignore" to automatically delete new messages in noisy but irrelevant conversations.
The app divides calendar events into the following categories in a convenient way: your own, shared with you, and those from the Microsoft 365 calendar group-to make it easier for you to prioritize events.
Quick Search The
new search bar uses the same "Microsoft Search" engine as other versions of "Outlook" and Microsoft 365 App, providing a faster search experience and more accurate results.
With just one click, you can access the search history and suggested network searches. Advanced mail search options such as keywords, date, priority, etc. can help you lock specific messages instantly. Alternatively, you can also enter descriptive search terms, such as "from Amy two weeks ago" (from Amy two weeks ago).
The customization
options of the new version of "Outlook" are very rich. You can set touchpad gestures, swipe to delete or archive messages, or adjust the layout to show more or fewer message previews. In addition, you can also install the "Outlook" add-in to complete more operations, such as using "DocuSign" to sign document attachments, using "Zoom" or "Webex" to arrange video conferences directly in the App, etc.
