Microsoft Releases a New Outlook App for iOS and Android
Microsoft released the new Outlook app for iOS and Android on Thursday, January 29, 2015. The new Outlook app for iOS and Android is the result of the acquisition of the “Acompli” email app back in December 2014. Users who are familiar with the former Acompli app will find that the new Outlook app for iOS and Android retains most of the previous app’s functionality. However, its appearance compliments the look of its corresponding Outlook 2013 Office application.

In addition, the new Outlook app for iOS and Android does not require using a Microsoft Exchange Server. Rather, you can choose to use the new Outlook App for iOS and Android with one of many commonly used email applications. You can use the new Outlook app for iOS and Android with Office 365, Exchange, Outlook.com, Yahoo Mail, Gmail, iCloud and related e-mail services. Its cloud storage integrates with many services, as well. These include OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive and Box.
As noted within the blog post, titled “A deeper look at Outlook for iOS and Android,” at the Office Blogs site, the new Outlook app for iOS and Android is designed to bring together the essential tools you need to manage email on mobile devices. This includes email, calendar, contacts and files. One of the app’s most impressive features is its ability to manage your calendar and appointments, which includes sending and receiving meeting invitations, all from within the new Outlook app. You can use the following links to download a copy of the new Outlook app for iOS and the Outlook app preview for Android.
