About Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft designed to help users focus on what’s important with a clear view of email, calendars, and contacts. Microsoft Outlook enables users to communicate more effectively by connecting efficiently with others. Available as a native mobile app for iOS, Android, and Windows devices, Microsoft Outlook gives users the flexibility to manage their inbox anytime, anywhere, via tablet and mobile devices.

Mircosoft Outlook allows users to see everything they need to know at a glance. Users can preview messages in the message list, so they'll know which ones to read and act on first, and then reply with just a click by typing a response directly into the reading pane. With Outlook, users can discover groups, quickly find what they need, and share files from the cloud, as well as manage their calendar and inbox. Calendar management tools allow users to share their availability, schedule meetings and receive notices easily.

Through the Outlook mobile app, users can access their unified inbox, schedule emails, and attach files conveniently. The mobile app allows users to share files from OneDrive, Dropbox, and Google Drive accounts while on the go, and without leaving Outlook. With Outlook's focused inbox, users can see what matters most first with the most important messages on top.

    Outlook has helped us in our business management, the design of the app is great and also customization options in the e-mail are really helpful.

    Pros

    The best software and also the easiest to track your e-mails. Can work as a client and on the web too. Also there are tons of extensions you can integrate your outlook with to make it much more helpful.

    Cons

    The set-up from another e-mail client can be a little difficult but the result once you move to outlook is great,

    Reasons for Choosing Microsoft Outlook

    Gmail was not really east to keep a track of all the mails and also the attachments are shown at the bottom of the mail which I don't think is helpful.

    Microsoft Outlook is for me the best email client as it is very easy to find old emails, it has many filters and ways to organize all your emails and tasks and it has the calendar integrated. It is very easy to use and you can customize many features in the options section.

    Pros

    I did not realize how good Outlook was until I change to Gmail for professional purpose. Microsoft outlook shows a clean screen, it is easy to use, very intuitive and you can find almost everything you need very easily with its filter options. It has also many options to customize your experience.

    Cons

    People on my surrounding is very familiar with Gmail and having outlook means having another app just for email checking, but in a professional way, it's the best. Maybe the Gmail is more beautiful and they have more colours, but for professional use I think it's the best

    Would be lost without it. The time that I save only having to look in one place for all of my emails is life changing.

    Pros

    All email types can be integrated into one place saving time by not checking many different platforms. Organization within Outlook is helpful. Quick print feature is genius.

    Cons

    Struggle searching for past emails sometimes. Not sure if the criteria is only searched in certain areas but it is frustrating when you cannot find what you know is out there. Also, rules that have been created sometimes "break".

    There are better email managers

    Reviewed on 21/11/2023

    Pros

    It's free to use and Microsoft is dedicating a lot of resources to offer a better experience with Outlook (improving design and usability), but it's still far from competitors such as Gmail.

    Cons

    Outlook could improve loading times and integrations with many e-commerces and webs, so we can login using our Microsoft account as we do with Gmail.

    Outlook is the ideal software for the email service of your company. It offers several advanced features to manage your company's emails effectively.

    Pros

    What I like about Outlook is that it offers all the email features that allow users to easily manage their emails. It also provides an integrated calendar for organizing meetings and appointments.

    Cons

    I have been using Outlook email for over 2 years in my company, and I haven't found any negative points. Outlook truly offers a high-quality email service.
