Outlook 2010
This next wave of Office-related products will enable you to be more productive across the PC, phone, and browser. Outlook 2010, together with Exchange, will continue to improve productivity with the ultimate inbox experience, through innovative end-user technologies such as:
MailTips – Warn users before they commit an e-mail faux pas such as sending mail to large distribution groups, to recipients who are out of the office or to recipients outside the organization, helping protect against information leaks and reducing unnecessary e-mail messages.
Conversations Management – Not only will Outlook 2010 provide the ability to view, sort, and categorize emails as conversations – using tools like Clean Up and Ignore, people can simply combine related messages to reduce inbox clutter or ignore irrelevant e-mail conversations altogether.
Familiar Outlook Experiences on Web & Mobile – Outlook Web Access and Outlook Mobile will provide powerful experiences to Outlook users in web browsers and on Windows Mobile devices to complement Outlook 2010. Key features and experiences around conversations view, search, and connecting with people will be delivered to you on the go, geared specifically for a web browser or a Windows Mobile phone to keep the experience lightweight and fast.
Outlook 2010 represents the latest in our work to creating a powerful and intuitive e-mail client, providing you with a rich set of e-mail management tools to manage your personal and professional life while staying in touch with the people that matter most. New innovations in user interface, search, and people photos are just some of the bold, exciting experiences that await Outlook 2010 users. In this next wave, Outlook will make accessing your e-mail and connecting with people wherever you are – on whatever device you choose – seamless and easier than ever before.
Outlook 2010, along with the rest of the Office 2010 client, will be available for trial in an upcoming technical preview which is slated for Q3 of the 2009 calendar year. This technical preview is meant for people used to testing out software in its initial development stage, and will be followed by a broad public beta, where millions can download and try out Office 2010.
Create e-mail messages that capture attention.Dynamic graphics and picture editing tools are not just for Word and PowerPoint anymore. With Outlook 2010, you can grab your readers’ attention by using compelling visuals such as pre-built SmartArt™ graphics, Office themes, and Styles. You also can more easily bring your ideas across to your readers by inserting and formatting screenshots in Outlook.
