Exchange Server 2016 is built to provide great email and calendar
experiences no matter where you are or how you connect your information.
We've been working hard to enable great Outlook experiences on the platforms you
care about. Over the next couple of minutes I'll show you updates to Outlook 2016
for the desktop and Outlook on the web.
Let me start with our great new experiences for people using Outlook in the browser.
We now have more options for quickly triaging your inbox, previewing media and crafting rich emails.
Here I am in Outlook in my browser. You can see you have a new clean, beautiful and
simplified UI with access to the action bar on top giving me quick access to my most
commonly used commands like delete and reply all.
One of our new commands is 'sweep'.
Sweep is a feature we brought over from outlook.com.
Choosing sweep on this newsletter I have from New York Times,
I get a bunch of great options like the ability to delete
all messages from the Inbox folder or keep just the latest message and delete the rest.
This is great for clearing out my inbox.
Another great new feature is called 'Pin'.
Pin helps me keep those important emails right where I need them
and prevents them from getting buried at the bottom of my inbox.
As I'm scrolling through my mail;
this email from Bonnie is really important. I want to make sure I have access that.
So I'm going to pin this message to keep this message at the top of my folder.
Now no matter how many mails I get, this message from Bonnie will be
visible to me all times.
Now let's take a look at the reading pane.
Outlook supports great experiences for rich media here in my inbox, including
attachments, pictures and video. This video here from YouTube in fact plays
directly here my browser so I can preview it before jumping out of my inbox.
Additionally, if I select this picture I get a great experience for
browsing through pictures attached to this email.
Now it's time to reply to this message. We've added new controls for crafting
even more beautiful and rich email.
I have a bunch of new options here, including
the ability to insert tables, insert rich media like pictures and videos.
All these features add up to deliver a richer email experience on the web.
Let's switch to Outlook 2016. For this release, we worked on improving performance across
the board. Behind the scenes, we've reduced the amount of time it takes to
download messages, display the message list and show a new email after resuming
from hibernation. In this case I'm going on a business trip and have forgotten
where to go in Outlook to set my Auto Replies.
I can go up to 'Tell Me' and simply start
typing and Tell Me will help me find where I need to go.
Another great feature is 'Smart lookup'. I have an email here from Katie
who is asking about a rumor she heard where Tailspin
is going to launch a new device at CES this year. If I'm unfamiliar with CES,
I can simply highlight it and choose Smart Lookup
and Smart Lookup will provide insights about CES right here in my inbox.
Lastly, Outlook 2016 is also
built with a responsive layout designed to work on screens of different sizes
and aspect ratios.
For example, if I want a smaller portrait device, which I'll
simulate by resizing my window here, Outlook look will automatically switch into a
single pane view that better suits the device. Now I have my single pane view in
the reading pane as well as a back button that takes me back to my message list.
This is just some of the work our team has delivered with Exchange Server 2016
to help you get more done when you're on the go, no matter which Outlook you're using.
Of course, Exchange Server 2016 supports syncing mail across many mobile
devices and you'll see more news on this in the upcoming months. You can start evaluating
and deploying Exchange Server 2016 today.
Thanks for watching!
