You can download Outlook for iPhone and iPad on iTunes now.Thankfully, a couple of alternatives come to the rescue. Hopefully that will be rectified soon as it will spell the final nail in the coffin of Apple Mail for us. Unless your account is with one of the big boys or uses a Microsoft Exchange server you don't seem to be able to link it. There is one small thing we're hoping will arrive in a future update as it doesn't seem to be possible to do with Outlook for iPhone right now and that's add a normal, external POP3 email account. In addition, the app has a quick filter option for inboxes which can wheedle out emails that are still unread, flagged or have attachments. It's incredibly handy when you need to find a specific email quickly. PeopleĪ handy contacts menu lists all the people and their email address that you have had recent contact with, which filters all of their recent emails to and from you when you tap on their name. And change the colours based on which account they come from. You can choose what details to show as well, using simple sliders. And it will do so from all linked accounts that feature a calendar option, aggregating the results in one place. This will show all entries you make, national holidays, birthdays of contacts, that sort of thing.

CalendarĪ biggie for iPhone owners, your calendar is built directly into the Outlook app. And, of course, you can attach photos either stored on your iPhone or taken that minute through the camera.

Alternatively, you can attach files from emails sent to you through any of the email accounts. This is important when adding attachments to emails as you can choose from files stored on any of your cloud services. OneDrive will be linked already through your Outlook account, but you can also link it to an iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox or Box account. You can also link the Outlook app to your cloud storage services. Just swipe an email from left to right and you will get the option to schedule the message to reappear at the top of your queue "in a few hours", "this evening", "tomorrow morning" or even set a specific time.
