14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just announced a batch of new improvements for its Outlook.com email platform, promising to offer enhanced performance to all users.
The Sweeping feature, for example, has been improved to require less clicks to use, while consumers can now organize content by categories.
“You can set up categories based on topics that commonly appear in your inbox, and then archive all that email. We provide a set of default categories based on the most common types of email, such as newsletters and social updates, but you can also easily create your own categories based on your inbox activity. Just select an email and use the Categories option in the top navigation,” Microsoft explains.
In addition, Outlook.com now comes with automatic filing and keyboard shortcuts, so it’s easier to control your inbox. Last but not least, the search feature has been improved with new social features, so looking for a specific person now returns names, pictures, and email addresses.
