Prajwal Desai Posted August 12, 2012 Report post Posted August 12, 2012 Outlook.com introduced by Microsoft is a new personal email service that reimagines the way that people use email from a cleaner look, to fewer and less obtrusive ads, to new connections to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Microsoft’s corporate vice president of Windows Live, Chris Jones said Outlook.com builds off the power of the Outlook people have long used on their PCs and Macs, has a fresh, clean user interface that gets the clutter out of inboxes and takes away display ads and large search boxes, and works well with smartphones, tablets, and the new Outlook 2013 Preview. Outlook has clean user interface and there are no display ads or large search boxes that take up extra space. Outlook.com also uses Exchange ActiveSync, so it powers your mail, calendar and people experience on your smartphone, tablet, and the new Outlook 2013 Preview. In the Outlook.com inbox, your personal email comes alive with photos of your friends, recent status updates and Tweets that your friend has shared with you, the ability to chat and video call. Getting Started at Outlook.com If you're a Hotmail customer and want to upgrade to the Outlook.com preview, just click "Upgrade" in the options menu of Hotmail. Your email address, password, contacts, old email, and rules will remain unchanged, and you can send/receive email from your @hotmail.com or @msn.com or @live.com address.If you have a Microsoft account, just log in and get started. If you don't, it's easy to create a new account with an @Outlook.com email address. In case you don't like the outlook.com preview there is an option to switch back to hotmail. Features : 1) Outlook.com supports the slideshow support for emails containing Photos. 2) Chat option with friends who are using Facebook Chat or Outlook. 3) Outlook.com offers the ability to open, edit and share Word, Excel and PowerPoint web apps built in with 7 GB of free cloud storage. 4) Skype will be coming to Outlook.com soon, so people can video call Skype or Outlook friends, even if neither have the Skype client installed. 5) Outlook gives you virtually unlimited storage and less spam—and works on your PC, Mac, phone, and tablet. 6) Outlook is modern which means you get a fresh, clean design that’s intuitive to use.
