Microsoft has updated its desktop email app, Outlook, for Windows 11 users. The new upgrade includes Apple iCloud functionality, allowing users to connect their iCloud accounts to the Outlook app. To add an iCloud account, users can click the cog icon in the Outlook menu and select "Add account" to sign in to their Apple iCloud account.The new Outlook app has received mixed reviews from users, with one major complaint being that it launches in a web wrapper. However, Microsoft is continuously working on improving the app and adding new features.
In addition to the iCloud support, Microsoft has also added compatibility with Gmail, Google Calendar, and contacts to Outlook. They are also working on extending offline support for more parts of the app, including events and Calendar.
Upcoming features in the new Outlook app include the ability to RSVP to meetings, allowing users to better decide if they want to attend. This feature is expected to debut in March 2024. Another feature will help users track declined meetings better in the Outlook calendar, which will be useful for those with overlapping or densely-packed schedules.
To enable the visibility of declined meetings in Outlook, users can go to Settings > Calendar > Events & Invitations > Save declined events and tick the "Show declined events in your calendar" box.
Overall, Microsoft is making efforts to improve the Outlook app and win over Windows users. These updates are available to all Windows 11 users with a valid copy of Outlook, and users may need to update their app to access these features.
