Microsoft Outlook for Mac is designed in tone with macOS and is built natively for this purpose. It gives the feel and experience of Apple’s proprietary operating system. It supports most email providers that we commonly use, like Google, iCloud, Microsoft, Yahoo, and IMAP. You can also view your agenda using a widget and see reminders in the Notification Center. With that, Microsoft is currently on a few features that will soon be announced, like widgets, notification center reminders, and a menu bar peek. Additionally, Outlook for Mac also has a “Handoff feature.” This feature allows you to switch between devices, like a Mac and an iPhone, and continue exactly from where you left off. For example, you can continue writing an email from your iPhone after having written half of it on your macOS device.

Another feature that Microsoft talks about (yet in the making) is “Outlook Profiles.” This feature will allow you to connect your email account to Apple’s Focus experience. This will allow you to disable unnecessary notifications so you can focus on your important tasks.

On top of this, Outlook for Mac also has separate inboxes for your “Focused” emails and general emails. All important emails will automatically be sorted inside the “Focused Inbox.” You can then sort these emails through simple gestures, such as a swipe, or even pin the important ones.
