Following the announcement of Windows 11, Microsoft has started releasing new preview versions of the operating system. These are aimed at improving the visual appearance of the software, as well as implementing improvements to safety and performance.
But that’s not all, Microsoft also wants all its applications to be compatible with Windows 11, both functionally and in appearance. Also, you want to get all of this done before its official release. This includes Microsoft Outlook, software that the technology giant wants to give a major change before its debut in the new Windows. At first the firm has called this project to renew Outlook Project Monarch. Thanks to the mime, it is intended to completely review the current one.
What the new Outlook Client will offer
When this update finally arrives, we will see a more current and improved user interface with a unified Outlook client. How could it be otherwise, the user interface is inspired by the appearance of Windows 11, although the new Outlook it will also reach Windows 10 and macOS users. We will also find that the Outlook web application will receive this renewal.
This is because Microsoft is looking for a more unified Outlook experience no matter what device we’re using. Furthermore, once Windows 11 is launched and installed, we will see that we only have one mail application, and it will be Outlook. Therefore, the current Mail and Calendar app, as well as the old Win32 version of Outlook, will no longer be available independently. We tell you all this because Microsoft plans to combine the Outlook applications into a single app that will replace the current Mail and Calendar applications in Windows 10 and 11.
It must be said that in Windows 11 Microsoft will eliminate the sharp edges and replace them with rounded corners, as will all the system apps. Other design enhancements include components that are similarly spreading throughout the operating system.
When can I try the new email client?
On the other hand, Outlook will also enjoy a batch of completely new icons, although we don’t know much about the new functional features yet. What it has been possible to deduce now thanks to a literal fiction series, is that its appearance will be very similar to that of the web version.
Everything indicates that a beta version of the new Outlook could be ready before the end of 2021. Thus, if the tests go well, Microsoft will replace the applications with the new Outlook in the next year 2022. Something that we must also take into account is that it is possible that the redesign does not bring new functions. What we do know is that the giant is working on a single, unified Outlook across all platforms to add new features to the application.
In turn, we must also wait for the official arrival of Windows 11since as the months go by it will receive new updates, as will happen with its applications, including Outlook.
