Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical. If you notice on the screenshots, the advertisements are minimal and on many of the screens, they are non-existent.
The command bar resides at the top of the window and is context based. If you have an email selected, you will see a targeted set of options, and when you are in a conversation, unnecessary options are hidden to reduce the clutter on the screen. Microsoft also analyzed what functions are used most often and created shortcuts that are, in some cases, inline to make quick actions. For example, deleting an email is one of the most common tasks when looking at email so Microsoft built in a quick-action item to make this process faster.
When it comes time to sit down and write an email, Microsoft has removed many of the distractions that are typically present when drafting up a fresh email or a response to an email you already received. You will notice above that there are no advertisements present, the navigation bar is tucked away neatly and all you are left with is your blank canvas to create your masterpiece.
On my particular setup above, I did have open the messaging window, but that can easily be collapsed. All of the standard options are still available such as plain text, HTML options, spell check and all of the other basic requirements; Microsoft simply cleaned up the interface to remove distractions and to give you the largest work-space possible.
Microsoft has a couple of tools that can help you combat this with Outlook. This tool allows you to automatically move messages in a controlled manor as seen in the image above. The cool thing about this is that it takes the hassle out of removing redundant messages.
There are also built in tools to help you unsubscribe from newsletters or another annoying email. Outlook simplifies to unsubscribe process from the Command bar and makes it simple to either automatically block the newsletter, or unsubscribe with just a few clicks. The upper bound on email attachments is MB but even better is that you can view slideshows, videos, and edit documents all from within Outlook.
The same goes for video too, you are able to watch them from your Outlook inbox. While these changes are certainly evolutionary, once you get used to them, downloading attachments to view them feels archaic and certainly is a welcomed feature to the platform.
If you are wondering how much storage space Microsoft will give you, worry no more; Microsoft is offering unlimited storage for its email platform.
If you get sent an Excel, PowerPoint or Word file, you are given two options: You can download the file or open it using web apps. Either option only takes one click to initiate the action thanks to a well-designed interface, makes viewing the file fast and fluid. Facebook, Twitter , SkyDrive and all the integration you could ever need:. Microsoft has all the social connectors you could think of well, not that one to make your email inbox as robust as possible.
If you are friends with someone on Facebook or Follow them on Twitter, Outlook now pulls in their profile image and adds it to the emails that they send you; you can also share content directly from Outlook. The platform, not surprisingly, also has deep ties with SkyDrive which makes it easy to share large photosets as the files get loaded on to Skydrive first free account when you sign up for Outlook gives you 7GB of storage and then provisions the content to your email.
This is important for a couple of reasons, one, it allows you to blow past the MB attachment limit set by Outlook but it also reduces the likelihood of an email bouncing because the attachment is too large for the recipients email. Microsoft offers a ton of pluggins for Outlook, the full list includes the platforms above as well as LinkedIN, flickr, Google for contacts and Weibo. We have all been there, you have a million profiles, across a dozen networks and you desire a single, universal contact list; Outlook makes that happen.
If you link all of your accounts to Outlook. The best part? For any other email providers, contact them for steps on how to unblock the connection. For now, try the following workaround: Go to account. Attempt to connect to the account via your IMAP client.
