"Try the new Outlook" in Microsoft 365 apps for business

Microsoft recently announced that a new feature will be added to the fat-client application Outlook for Windows. Starting in April 2023, you will be able to convert your Outlook client to the web-based Outlook.

Press "Try the new Outlook" at the top to convert your Outlook.

It is important to note that the new version of Outlook for Windows not only has an improved user interface, but also includes some new features. For example, it has an improved search function and the ability to delete multiple emails at once. Makes sense since this web app is not much different from https://outlook.office.com

The toggle feature allows users to try out the new features and see if they want to use the new version of Outlook for Windows. However, if they prefer the classic version of Outlook, they can easily switch back using the toggle button at the top right.

Overall, it is positive to see that Microsoft continues to innovate and add new features to its products. This helps users to be more productive and efficient in their daily work. Web apps connect better with other services such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and can therefore take a step closer to a better and faster user experience.
