Microsoft updates its email service: this is the new Outlook

Although it's only been a few weeks since Outlook released an update for iOS that gave users the ability to use a new calendar widget; Redmond just announced a facelift, this time general, of their email service.

A version that comes loaded with new features that improve our experience and make things easier for us. In this way, the tool not only undergoes a redesign, but also includes collaboration options and other functions such as integration with platforms such as Yelp and Wunderlist, among other.

How is the new Outlook

In this way, those of Redmond have adjusted this new interface based on the experience with Office 365, something that gives them the possibility of offering us a professional result and a more intelligent directory. In addition, we can take advantage of other features such as flight confirmations in the calendar and enjoy new utilities.

For example, the service comes with plugins developed by companies like Giphy (which recently became a partner) and joins other companies like PayPal, Evernote, Boomerang, and Uber. But they are not the only modifications; Rather, the new Outlook streamlines collaboration, allowing regulars on the platform to edit documents and images while replying to the original message. Another option is to animate emails using emojis

Likewise and every time we add a new recipient to the conversation, the system asks us if we want to attach a recent file, a reminder that it carries out with the objective that this newly incorporated member has all the information contained in the e-mail and don't miss any detail

To add it, we can use the new @mentions, a system that works in a similar way to those present in Slack and that allows us to do it by simply typing their name preceded by the at sign. The feature also streamlines our conversations. Pins, on the other hand, put the most important messages at the top of your inbox, and search suggestions have gotten more precise.

That being said and although, at the moment, only a limited number of users can enjoy this update, it will be progressively implemented over the next few days . A priori, what do you think?
