Microsoft is rolling out its 'New Outlook,' a fresh take on the email platform most of us use daily. This new version introduces a new interface (visual look) and enhanced features geared toward improved productivity. However, not all previous features are available yet, some will not be enabled at all, and some key tools may be in the queue for inclusion, but not there yet. Here's the current official list of features and their statuses.
If you rely on Outlook for daily tasks, these changes could impact your workflow. It's advisable to postpone the deployment of the New Outlook until Microsoft fully addresses these gaps in feature parity. By waiting, you can minimize disruptions and continue using the functionalities you currently rely on.
Integration of Outlook with industry-specific applications (like legal, housing, and myriad others) may be seriously impacted. Readers should begin the process of ensuring their unique software vendor has a plan for accommodating integration with the New Outlook. This, in particular, is something that can only be addressed by you in conjunction with your specific software vendor(s).
