Lately, Microsoft has given some love to Outlook — not just the desktop app, but also the web and app versions. In fact, they just released a bunch of new and improved features.

In fact, they just released a bunch of new and improved features. Let’s take a look.<\/p>\n
#1 RSVP<\/strong> #2 Multiple time zones<\/strong> Outlook now allows you to show multiple time zones – three within Windows, and one within Outlook for Mac. In Outlook for Windows, add one by clicking File > Options > Calendar Time Zones and clicking “Show a second time zone”. In Mac, add one additional time zone under Outlook > Preferences > Calendar Time Zones. For Outlook on the web, click the \u201cTime Zone\u201d drop-down arrow in your Calendar meeting invite to add an additional time zone.<\/p>\n #3 BCC warning<\/strong> #4 Office Lens for Android<\/strong> #5 Bill-pay reminders<\/strong> If you want to learn more about these new and improved features, with more on the way, just call us today for a quick chat with one of our Microsoft Office experts.<\/p>\n
\nOutlook makes it fairly simple to invite people to a meeting, but now it will also keep tabs on who’s coming. Just click the new \u201cTracking\u201d option under \u201cMeeting Occurrence\u201d and see who has committed to the meeting and who hasn\u2019t. RSVP isn’t just available for the meeting organizer, but the attendees, too.<\/p>\n
\nTraveling internationally and trying to sync appointments on different continents? Not fun. But now you can set up event start times and end times across different zones.<\/p>\n
\nIf you’re on the receiving end of a blind carbon copy (bcc) email, that means the other recipients didn’t know you were copied on it. In Outlook for Windows, you’ll now get an alert if you attempt to reply to that message, such as \u201cYou were bcc’d, so perhaps you should reply only to the sender?\u201d That way you’ll remain anonymous.<\/p>\n
\nIf you use Outlook for Android, the app will integrate the Microsoft Office Lens feature.
\nWhen that happens, you can tap the photo icon while composing a message, then take a snapshot of a whiteboard, document, photo or the like. Outlook will optimize it and then embed it into the email.<\/p>\n
\nWhat about your bills? Outlook will identify them in your inbox, show you a summary card at the top of your email each day, send an email to remind you two days before the due date, and automatically add an event to your calendar so you don\u2019t forget to pay on the actual day.<\/p>\n
