Why use Outlook?

Manage your inbox

• Outlook automatically triages your inbox for you, surfacing your most important email. Less relevant email is placed in your “Other” inbox.

• Swipe to quickly delete, archive, or schedule messages.

• Schedule emails and they will return to your inbox at a later time.

Your calendar built-in

• Switching between your email and calendar apps is a thing of the past. Outlook includes your calendar and notifies you with appointment reminders.

• Find available meeting times and share them in email or schedule a meeting.

Attachments made easy

• View and attach any file from your email, OneDrive, Dropbox, and other accounts with just a few taps.

• Send large files even if you haven’t downloaded them to your phone.

Find anything fast

• Filter your inbox to only show messages that are unread, flagged, or have attachments, with a single tap.

• Quickly find the right messages, people and files by typing just a few letters.

• Outlook shows people you communicate with most often, and lets you conveniently drill down to see all related emails, meetings and files.
