14 DAY TRIAL // Not among the best rated applications on Google Play Store, Outlook.com for Android devices has just received a major update that promises to improve it and iron out some of the issues affecting previous versions.
In order to highlight the importance of this update, Microsoft explains all the changes that have been added recently in a blog post on the application’s official website.
The most important, or at least one of the major ones, is the option to download all mail. This new feature was added at the users’ request and offers them more choices for syncing their mail.
According to Microsoft, the application now features an option to allow users to download all their messages regardless of how old they are.
The server-side search is another important new feature that Microsoft decided to add. It provides Outlook.com users with the option to search through all of their email, even if the messages aren't on the phone.
This feature has been especially introduced for those who don’t carry the whole mail in their phone, so they now have the option to search Outlook.com to find their messages.
With the latest version of Outlook.com, Android users benefit from unlimited sync of all email history for full off-line access, along with the ability to set and manage vacation replies. With the latter, you will be able to choose to send the reply to everyone, or limit it to the people in the contact list.
Moreover, this update adds aliases, which means that you can now send emails from Outlook.com aliases. Eight new colors to customize the application’s interface and traditional Chinese language support have been included in this update as well.
You can now download Outlook.com for Android for free via Softpedia. Keep in mind that the application should be fully compatible with all devices powered by Android 2.2 and up.
