You can download the new Outlook for Mac from the Apple App Store today. We are also creating a peek of upcoming calendar events in the Menu Bar (coming soon).” To help you stay on top of your email and calendar while using other apps, you can view your agenda using a widget and see reminders in the Notification Center. “Outlook for Mac does more to integrate into the Apple platform so that you get the most from your macOS device. The new Outlook is optimised for Apple Silicon, with snappy performance and faster sync speeds than previous versions,” Microsoft writes in a blog post. And these enhancements go far beyond surface level. “With Outlook, you’ll get a modern and beautiful user interface that has been designed and optimised for macOS. There’s also integration with the Focus productivity tool, that’ll enable users to customise when they receive work emails. The client isn’t just for Microsoft’s own accounts (formerly Hotmail), it’s also a capable client for third-party email services like Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo! or IMAP accounts.īeyond that, Microsoft is promising deeper integration with the macOS system, including a spot in the Menu bar, Notifications Centre and support for Apple’s Handoff feature that enables tasks to be started on an iPhone and completed on a Mac (or vice versa). Setting up an account in Blue Mail is super simple. It also offers support for IMAP, POP3, and Exchange, and it offers autoconfiguration.

It works with multiple email providers, including Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL, Outlook, and Microsoft 365 among others. Until now Microsoft has offered a free Outlook app for iOS so this completes the circle somewhat, with the software giant promising a “consistent, reliable, and powerful experience that brings the best-in-class experience of Outlook into the Apple ecosystem that so many love.” Blue Mail is a free, well-designed email app that offers tons of great features.
