Microsoft Outlook
Secure Email, Calendar & Files
Overwhelmed by your inbox? Microsoft Outlook prioritises organisation and efficiency to help you speed through all those messages.
You can connect just about any email and calendar accounts you have – Gmail, iCloud and, of course, Outlook itself. Once you do, sort through your inboxes with simple swipe gestures.
Customise gestures to interact with your email on your own terms. The first time you swipe on a message, you’ll be presented with customisation options, and you can always change them later in Settings.
For example, swiping right on a message might delete that email, while swiping left can schedule a reminder to follow up on it later. Other swiping options include archiving, flagging or marking as read or unread.
Search in Outlook is powerful as well: it hunts not just for a specific email message but also for attached files, contacts or upcoming trips mentioned in emails or listed on your calendar.
You can view and attach any file from your email to services like OneDrive and Dropbox, as well as to Word, Excel and more, without having to download them to your iPhone. Add other app accounts such as Facebook, Evernote and Trello to Outlook to get messaging and notifications for those apps right alongside your email.
In Outlook, you can also subscribe to Microsoft Office 365 to get full access to apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint across iPhone, iPad, Mac and PC. To subscribe, just log in to any Microsoft Office app and upgrade.
