Microsoft has announced a new Outlook
Web App for Android. The company stated the announcement in a blog post
but did not provide an exact release date. The Outlook Web App would let
users experience all of the Microsoft Office 365 features including
three new, 'Clutter', 'Enhanced Document Collaboration', and 'Groups'
features. The Outlook Web App has already been available for iOS users
since July 2013.
According to the blog post, Clutter will
allow users to clear unwanted emails. "People need a simple - but
accurate - way to manage the high volume of email messages they receive.
There should be a way to separate out the unimportant items from
important ones without having to set up and manage large numbers of
inbox rules... which can get complicated very quickly," states
Microsoft's Steve Chew in the blog post.
Users can also change the settings and mark some emails as important which will show up as top priority in the mailbox. Enhanced Document
collaboration "includes full integration with OneDrive for Business,
allowing you to easily share files stored in the cloud as attachments in
your email."
The Office Online
feature, offers direct email integration, and will let users "view and
edit documents side-by-side with the original email conversation." The
app also offers improved Group collaboration and now users can
perform "real time co-authoring" using Microsoft Office Online. The blog
post adds that, "Images are also shown in this same side-by-side view,
allowing you to read the contents of the email as you browse the
pictures you've received." The Outlook Web App Groups are Public in
default but can be made private through settings.
