Microsoft Introduces New Features In Outlook

Microsoft recently launched updates for its primary email client service, Outlook, but this time, rather incorporating it in the application directly, Microsoft has introduced these updates in the Outlook.com website. Users can visit the website, and download and install the updates they require in their systems and alter the specific Outlook setting they desire.

According to the Outlook tech support team, the software giant has announced a series of advanced rules for Outlook.com, which will work almost like the IFTTT app for Android and iOS. With this feature, an email will be automatically pushed to the top of your inbox if it is not opened for more than three days. However, this does not mean that you will not have any latest updates in Outlook.

There are many interesting features in the app like the ability to create a new rule from a template, or even creating your own rule from the scratch. There are several options available for specific words in the sender's address as well. As per the sources, more user-friendly options are set to be launched in the near future on Outlook.com.

Other interesting features launched by Microsoft for altering preferred Outlook setting include the addition of an Undo feature, which will ensure that the emails you have accidentally deleted or moved can be undone quickly by using the CTRL-Z shortcut or using the Undo button. Along with this, the option of In-line replies has also been enabled in this program.

Now, you can also easily locate your friends in Outlook using the list of people available in the lower left-hand corner of the Outlook.com tab. You can chat with these people through services such as Skype, Facebook, or other instant messengers. Here, you will find a list being popped up, which gives you the information of the video and chat services your friends subscribe to, and whether they are online.

Earlier, users had to add the contact details manually, but now, Outlook will automatically fill the data. As stated by Mike Schakwitz, “The new features, which are rolling out today, build on our commitment to give your inbox new and better ways to do the heavy lifting and help you save time.”

Therefore, it is certain that Microsoft is all set to revamp Outlook by introducing such new features. For more information on the new features in Outlook, feel free to contact our technical support team.
