Today, Microsoft has officially released a new version of the Outlook mail program for Windows. Users can download and install it in Microsoft Store.

Testing of the program began in May 2022. Microsoft said that the reason for the development of the new version is the expansion of the audience platform. It is no longer limited to the classic application for 32-bit Windows, the web version and the Mail and Calendar application of the Win10 system. The new version is based on a cross-platform version of the same code.

The app is free to use, all you need is a Microsoft account, no subscription required. The only downside to the paid subscription is that Outlook email attachments take up space in OneDrive. Additionally, users can subscribe to M365 to expand this space to 1 TB. In this article, we will look at the new features of the program and how they can benefit users.

Block emails with sensitive labels

One of the new features of the Outlook mail program is the ability to block emails with confidential labels. This feature implements pop-up messages in Outlook that warn, excuse, or block emails. It blocks emails that contain sensitivity labels. This feature is also useful for brands that deal with sensitive data and want to make sure that emails don't reach the wrong recipients.

Inheritance of attachment labels in emails

Another new feature of the Outlook mail program is the inheritance of attachment labels in e-mail messages. To e-mail messages with attachments, the program applies a label that corresponds to the highest classification of those attachments. This feature can help users monitor the sensitivity of their attachments. It also ensures that the letters are not received by those to whom they are intended.

Use built-in headers, styles, and lists

Outlook also allows users to use built-in headings, styles, and lists to organize information in emails. Users can use Heading 1, Heading 2, then Heading 3 instead of Heading 3, Heading 1, then Heading 2. This feature can help users organize their emails and make them easier to read.

Font replacement

Outlook also includes a number of settings that users can control to influence the content of the email messages they send and receive. For example, users can control how content is copied and pasted into an email. Users can also use the Font Substitution option to determine if an active email uses fonts that are not available on their computer. If the email uses fonts that are not available on the user's computer, the user can use the dialog box to specify a substitute font.

Getting started with the new version of Outlook for Windows

Users can get started with the new Outlook for Windows by joining the Office Insiders program. They will be able to familiarize themselves with the latest version of Outlook and express their comments and wishes. Users can customize the program to suit their style and do more with the new Outlook for Windows. They can switch back to the classic version whenever they want by turning off the switch in the new Outlook and it will automatically open the classic version.

Final words

The new version of the Outlook mail program includes several new features and updates that users may find useful. These features will help users monitor the sensitivity of attachments, organize their e-mail and ensure that e-mails are not sent to the wrong recipients. Users can also customize the program to suit their style and do more with the new Outlook for Windows.
