There’s also not much in the way of customisation beyond changing the swipe gestures. The calendar, while handy, requires that your calendar is linked to your email, so if you’re just using the iOS calendar option and iCloud it won’t show up in Outlook. Until then, you’ll have to manage your email (and notifications) to get it working properly, and even then there’s no manual override to ensure you always get notifications from a single person. The Focused inbox works incredibly well, but it does take a little time before it works as well as Priority Inbox. If that’s too much for you, you can also set notifications for only important emails that land in the Focused tab. As far as notification are concerned, you can set up notifications for calendar events alongside new emails on a per account basis. You can also use that calendar to set up meeting times and share them via email. You can add attachments from a variety of different cloud services and view your calendar without ever leaving the app. Outlook’s other main focus is hooking into other services. If triaging email is your thing, you can delete, archive and snooze emails for later using a swipe gesture. You can also quickly filter your emails by flagged or unread, so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. Focused is similar to something like Gmail’s Priority Inbox, where Outlook learns what emails matter to you and pushes those to the top. Outlook divides your email into two main sections: Focused and Other. Even with all its features, Outlook has a clean design that only takes a few minutes to familiarise yourself with. It accomplishes this partially because it’s just a rebranded and updated version of the already fantastic Acompli. Considering it’s Outlook, what’s surprising is that it does so without compromising usability. As you’d expect from Microsoft, Outlook tries to be as powerful as a desktop app.
