Hi, Office Insiders! My name is Margie Clinton, and I\u2019m a Group Product Manager on the Outlook team. I\u2019m excited to announce that the new Outlook for Windows will begin rolling out for all Office Insiders to try starting today!<\/p>\n

Explore the new Outlook for Windows<\/h3>\n

This past May, we expanded our work of creating a more consistent Outlook experience across endpoints (including Windows) with the release of our early preview of the new Outlook for Windows. This new Outlook for Windows is designed to provide a contemporary yet familiar Outlook experience that helps to improve personal productivity and email organization for users.<\/p>\n

Since then, we\u2019ve received valuable feedback from Office Insiders on Beta Channel about how to create a more consistent, feature-rich experience. We\u2019ve taken this feedback into account and incorporated updates into this most recent rollout.<\/p>\n

Beginning today, members of our Office Insiders community on Current Channel (Preview) will begin to have access and be able to explore new Outlook for Windows as we roll it out to the community. In the coming weeks, this experience will also be made available for Windows Insiders using a similar toggle within the Windows Mail app.<\/p>\n

How it works<\/h3>\n

If you are signed up as an Office Insider and running Beta Channel or Current Channel (Preview) builds, all you need to do is slide the Try the New Outlook<\/strong> toggle located in the upper-right corner of your classic Outlook for Windows, and follow the onscreen instructions.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

NOTE: <\/strong>You can switch back to your previous Outlook experience whenever you want. Just switch the toggle off and it will automatically open your previous version with no data or email loss.<\/p>\n
