Microsoft has announced<\/a> the beta for the new Outlook for Windows, which will make the desktop email client a lot more like the web version. While screenshots and an entire build of the app were recently leaked<\/a>, Microsoft\u2019s announcement gives us a good look at what kind of features we can expect to see coming to our inboxes.<\/p>\n

According to Microsoft\u2019s Tuesday post, Outlook will be getting quite a few new features in addition to an updated design. For starters, it\u2019ll integrate with Loop, Microsoft\u2019s system for collaborating on things like polls, task lists, and more<\/a> throughout Office. There\u2019s also a new system for attaching files. If you\u2019ve got something stored in the cloud, you can type the \u201c@\u201d symbol and then the filename, and you\u2019ll get a list of matching files ready to add to an email.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s also added a few calendar and to-do features. Some of them are simple, like the ability to pin emails to the top of your inbox so they\u2019ll stay in your face until you deal with them. You\u2019ll be able to drag emails over to a panel and set them as to-do items or as calendar events if you want to book time to respond \u2014 and after you\u2019ve done that, you can look at the new calendar view that shows your task lists, notes, and various other customizable pieces of information alongside an actual calendar.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to make it seem like Microsoft\u2019s reinventing email here. The app is still decidedly Outlook, even if it seems like it\u2019ll just be a very fancy web view<\/a>. But a few of these features remind me of what got me so excited about the now-defunct<\/a> Mailbox app that Dropbox bought<\/a> way back in the day. I\u2019m also happy to see a revamp of the calendar interface; I\u2019ve always hated the one that\u2019s in the current desktop version of Outlook.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s post mentions myriad other features, too. For example, when responding to a calendar invite, you can specify whether you\u2019ll be attending in person or virtually; the inbox-cleaning Sweep feature will be included in the app; and Outlook will pin messages that it thinks are important if you seem to have missed them. You can see the full list of features, along with screenshots and descriptions, on Microsoft\u2019s page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As always with apps based on web technology, I do have a little bit of trepidation around this future update, especially its performance. I also assume that longtime Outlook users will have to endure one heck of an adjustment period, especially if it\u2019s the main app they spend their days in. But, at the same time, I very much like the idea of Outlook having the same functionality on the web and in the desktop app, rather than making us use two substantially different UIs. Plus, the features that Microsoft\u2019s showing off mesh very well with how I view email. So, color me cautiously optimistic. <\/p>\n

If you feel the same, you may be able to try it out yourself \u2014 though you will need a commercial or educational Microsoft account. If you\u2019ve checked that box, you can sign up to be an Office Insider and join the Beta Channel<\/a>. Once you\u2019ve done that and updated to the latest version of Outlook, there should be a toggle letting you switch to the new version. Of course, do keep in mind that it is a beta<\/em>; be sure you\u2019re comfortable with running your email through a program that\u2019s still in the works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
