Outlook for Windows (also referred to as New Outlook) is an email client developed by Microsoft. It is a replacement of the preloaded Windows Mail, Calendar apps and the contact management People app on Windows 10 and 11, and is shipping as default with all versions of Windows 11 since 2024, beginning with version 24H2.[1] [2]
The new Outlook was outlined under Microsoft's 'One Outlook' plan, with testing starting in 2022.[3] In September 2023, Microsoft started transitioning users of the previous apps to the new Outlook.[4] It was released on the Microsoft Store that month, although it remained in preview status for enterprise and education users.
Outlook for Windows is a web app based on the WebView2 runtime,[5] [6] and builds on features found in Outlook on the web.[4] It still has some features from Microsoft Outlook (which Microsoft refers to as Classic Outlook in this context[7]) missing, such as .pst files.[8]
The free version includes advertising, and does not currently enable all IMAP accounts to be set up. It does not support iCloud aliases. It does not work offline.[9]
