MICROSOFT OUTLOOK 2019 (WINDOWS)

Product information "Microsoft Outlook 2019"

With the Outlook 2019 version, the Redmond-based software developer has created a high-performance software package to succeed Outlook 2016 with many new and interesting features. At the core of the software remains the reliable sending and receiving of emails, whereby multiple accounts can be easily linked and managed via the software. 

In terms of inbox organisation, Microsoft Outlook allows users to arrange their folder structure, create task lists, manage address books and organise deadlines in the comprehensive calendar. Thanks to synchronisation between various end devices, important information is always available to view on smartphones or notebooks as required. 

Useful new features in Microsoft Outlook 2019

Simplified communication through enhanced organisational features such as the option to see how many contacts have responded to an invitation. Another handy feature is the new BCC warning which prevents users from unintentionally copying in all the recipients of the original email when responding to an email. Microsoft Outlook also reliably recognises invoices received with its so-called “Bill Reminder” feature, entering all due dates into the calendar to significantly reduce the likelihood of missing payment deadlines. The “Bill Reminder” feature is particularly handy for independent and small businesses.

Customisable user interface

As part of the overhaul of the email software, Microsoft has revised and simplified the standard ribbon interface of its previous versions.

 In the latest version, users can choose between the traditional interface and a simplified menu bar. This now allows Microsoft Outlook 2019 users to change the menu bar settings at the top of the screen as well as the new navigation bar features on the left-hand side of the screen. 

More security against malware and phishing emails

Changes have also been made in terms of security with the latest Outlook version offering a new Safe Links service. Whilst embedded links are now visible in a much improved preview, a real-time scan operates in the background to reliably filter out any malware and phishing links.

Additional new features for iOS

The iOS version of Microsoft Outlook features several additional improvements. These include the integration of machine learning features in the calendar system. This allows a suitable meeting location to be automatically suggested in Microsoft Outlook 2019 by analysing the user location and number of people participating in an event.
