so welcome back to geek productive news
today we're going to share a little bit
more about the brand new mac
application for outlook microsoft
outlook giving you a bit more detail
what's included
and when it will be available so in
readiness for
big sur mac os 11 apple's next big
mac update touted for the middle to late
october the new mac application has a
few design
and feature tweaks to help outlook users
the main features include improved
search suggestions
reply within window so no pop outs and
improved
calendar and meeting access changes
so let's look into more detail so the
first of the changes
is a customized toolbar you can choose
commands to display in the toolbar
so for example you can select the more
icon and then customize the toolbar
for a greater customization of your
experience
as i said they've improved the search
search is now powered by microsoft
search
having better results and better
suggestions
there is a new my day view allowing you
to see upcoming events
in agenda or day view in the main window
for mail so you can select my day and
you can turn it off and on so the next
feature there is an improved
rsvp for meetings so you can respond to
meeting invites
directly from the reading pane which
makes it easier to accept
put tentative decline or propose a new
time
you can also access more office 365
groups including calendars
so you can view all of your office 365
groups in mail and calendar view
in mail groups are located under the
groups node
for your account in calendar groups are
located
after calendar folders for your account
as i said there's a nested compose in
reading
pane so that helps you to stop having to
open up a new compose window every time
you want to reply
reply all or forward this is just a
small tweak
you can even ignore a conversation
inside of the new outlook
you can delete messages in a
conversation including messages
already received in any new messages
and improved event scheduling you can
create events much better
inside of the new mac application
including
changing the attendees the location and
viewing the attendee availability
as well as a host more features now
apparently microsoft included their
microsoft sync technology
that is currently used in their ios
android applications
for the version that we have here
outlook for mac and apparently it means
that office 365
and outlook and even gmail users will be
able to connect to microsoft services
faster
and they're aiming to add icloud and
imap support in the near future
so some features that are currently
available in the outlook for mac
for office 365 that aren't yet available
in this new outlook experience our block
sender delegates online archive and
there are a few more and we'll make sure
to link them below
this is a nice new addition to the
microsoft lineup and it's definitely
a really attractive one looking very
sleek
including that fluent design that they
talk about with some rounded edges
and they're definitely an improved
design for those who have mac users
that just want a bit of a cleaner
experience so you can get this through
the insider fast
program which i'll include below but as
you can imagine
they're rolling this out when big sur
comes so we're looking sort of
last year it was 19th of october i
believe so it's definitely going to be
in that sort of realm so folks i hope
