App For Microsoft Outlook Mac App Microsoft

Feels like a Mac app Microsoft moved fast to support Apples new operating systems this year, including the recent addition of support for use of Outlook (or Edge) as the default email clientbrowser on iOS and iPadOS 14.

Its apps (including OneDrive) now offer iOS 14 Home screen widgets; there are new complications for Apple Watch; and Apple Pencil support on iPads.

In the case of Big Sur, that means elements such as rounder corners and pane-based views.

We wanted you to feel at home while using Outlook for Mac without sacrificing what makes Outlook, well, Outlook, said Microsoft marketing program manager Jessica Wilczek in a blog post.

Rules, swipes and snooze Beyond design, Microsoft seems focused on making OutlookMac a more productive space for enterprise workers.

You can filter searches by the importance status of messages, keywords, and attachments, or use natural language search.

Youll be able to select a more convenient time for it to appear again in your email as unread.

This should help remote workers carve more sense out of their busy email existences.

Microsoft seems to want to make it possible for users to do much more of this work from inside Outlook.

The feature is designed to be a central place to manage and explore those you collaborate with often.

Theres also a new MyDay pane within the main mail screen and a two-week calendar that sits beside the inbox.

These are Mac-like features, including drag--drop arrangement of accounts and folders, and the capacity to mark some contacts as Favorites.

You can also customize the toolbar to help ensure the controls you need are easy to find.

Outlook lets you install toolbar commands to access features such as Microsoft Forms, DocuSign, Salesforce, and Zoom.

Calendars and meetings Calendars are now grouped by calendars you own, calendars that are shared with you, and Microsoft 365 Group Calendars.

You can set up events from within the calendar grid, use a Teams toggle to invite people, and Outlook will attempt to suggest a useful time.

If you have a scheduled meeting, you can click it for more information and any relevant emails or files.

To be fair, the company says such support is coming soon, and the application does bring in mail from Office 365, Outlook and Google accounts.

This lack of iCloud support will be a friction point for knowledge workers with a Mac, who will inevitably also have an iCloud address.

All told, this looks like a solid release that seems should be of great use to Mac users working at enterprises that have coalesced around use of Outlook across all supported platforms.
