The new Outlook for Windows is here 

The animators for Windows really deserves a raise.

People can say whatever but the animators and editors who make these videos are just incredible No amount of praise is enough

The best thing about the old email application was its simplicity, with Outlook that is lost. Thanks, Microsoft ¬_¬

I think it's just Outlook web running inside a web wrapper.

Animation team really deserves a double 💞💞... If microsoft really make those aero glass effects come alive windows will be in next level ... Really missing aero effects since windows7 .

Imagine this quality of animation in Windows 12

The new Outlook has ads in it, the built-in Windows mail app does not. How disappointing.

The fact that it's just a PWA is a complete dealbreaker for me. If I wanted to rely on an internet connection for something as simple as viewing old emails, I would've bought a Chromebook.

Be wary folks, this new Outlook literally gives Microsoft 24/7 access to all your non-Microsoft email accounts. It's a web wrapper of the Outlook website, and does not function locally as you'd expect from a built-in email application.

I love animation more than OS

as usual the animations and quality more upon quantity which microsoft/windows prefer is amazing. Even if they just release a new option, they animate it like a new OS/Device/Startup etc. I Love How Microsoft does this without showing any effort to us. It Takes so much time to complete animations and ideas like this. Thank You Microsoft For Creating Such An Amazing OS And Much More.

I wish we could have the themes used in those trailers as actual themes they look so cool.

i love the windows 11 UI, don't get me wrong, but why is there always such a significant disconnect between these animations in the trailer for new windows updates and what we actually see in the UI itself? the animations are GORGEOUS, glassy, and colorful, and it's consistently felt like the actual update we get doesn't match that visual energy. personally, i'd really love an overhaul to windows that doubles down and embraces this style that microsoft's been dancing around these past few years

My biggest problem with it is that unlike the current Mail app, this one doesn't even OPEN offline, which means I can't see my previously downloaded mails without an active internet connection.

I am never dissapointed with the beautiful animations in Windows videos, the animators really have some dedication

I tried the test version a few months ago. Great interface, and speed. My main challenge was retrieving older emails when I wasn’t connected to the internet.

Deceiving advertisement, they also forgot to mention the ads that will appear if you don't pay the subscription.

Animations on the ad is just wow. If windows had this in real life, no company would have a chance.

Windows animations vs actual product be like game trailer vs the actual gameplay.

Microsoft should make Designers & animators who worked in that video to design the windows itself.

Ah yes, new Outlook loading for 30 seconds, while the old Mail app loading only for 3-5 seconds.

It's missing a ton of features from the traditional Outlook desktop app. It also feels like it's just a website they popped into a window. Not a fan. Hopefully it will improve with time.

Sorry to say, peeps... but the UI is NOT transparent as shown in this animation.

I happened to try the beta of the new outlook earlier this year and it sucked at handling multiple e-mail accounts. I had to revert to Windows mail for the sake of my sanity. I hope they have fixed those issues in the release!

Omg the team of individuals who worked on the graphics for this video better be greatly compensated because this is beyond excellent. Wow 👌🏼

Now apply the same animations in the next Windows OS.

ah, they probably spent more time making all these animations and stuff in this short video than in windows 11.

The animation team make windows 11 look actually good. I wish it were like this fr

Well done Microsoft! 🎉

The recent updates introduced by Windows are truly remarkable. 👏 In particular, the inclusion of the Video Animator and UI Designer features is commendable. 🎥💻 Kudos to the development team for their outstanding work! 👍

Us: Make Windows 11 better Microsoft: Pays the animators more than the software devs to make good animations

neh, after the old calendar and email app gets deprecated, immediately switched to thunderbird.

The animations and crystal interface, as is in video, should be real on Windows! It would look amazing.

Please add a windows 10 like start menu in windows 11 as an preferences option. It was great to see apps a glance and i miss the live tiles.

Oh My goodness, That is So impressive, Love Windows ❤

Loving the whole glassmorphism theme they got going on.

Always fan of the animations, so clean and soft

Animators are doing better job than devs

For someone who uses outlook all the time, I can't express how excited I am for this improvement.

Those animations are just eye candy man, they look awesome.

I gotta admit, Fluent 2 is absolutely beautiful and eye pleasing. 🤩

As someone who uses Outlook daily, I really hope there is a way to switch back to classic UI.

kinda miss the old mail, it worked and was compact for what it did. Cbf going through all the 2 factor authentication again to re log into 5 different emails.

The animations in Windows are really nice to look at. I hope Microsoft can provide even smaller sizes and better animations in the future.

I wish the app was as nice as this animation

Hope someday we will get Windows and Apps looking like this.

The product isn't even look like this. It's just a pwa app with a forced dark mode.

Can we talk about how beautiful windows products videos are???!! like the music and animation fits perfectly!!

This is perfection! I can't wait to get the new upgrade, as this just looks SOOO cool!! Nice job to the editors by the way, everyone is hating that the updates are taking so long but honestly better now than never, the fact that you guys are putting in effort to fix what people want fixed is amazing!

The new editor makes it very hard to change the language. When choosing a language there is no option to scroll down where the accept button is, not even with the scroll wheel it reaches that far down, the only way to push the accept button is to press tab several times until it shows on screen. I guess there are also some languages in the button that are also unable to scroll to.

The music is just so spine-chillingly satisfying, especially them water droplets-like sound effects.

This whole "upgrade" makes no sense. The Mail and Calendar apps, and classic Outlook app is being replaced with pretty much the Outlook web client? So how is this an upgrade? I can't stand the Outlook web app as it is and love the classic Outlook app. I'm really hoping they don't force this "upgrade" cause I won't use it.

Yeah the ads are also available in the right side with style 🙂🙂 Only reason I don't use outlook is the ads.

Actually the animation is way better than the software.

I love the color and transparency effect in this video, please add them to actual windows

Excited! As a teacher teaching the Office pack at school I'm very excited for the changes and possibilities.

Oh my god. The animation for this video is so well done, I love it. I can't even focus on what's being advertised lol.

Im totally excited for 23H2!💙

Replace a functional native app with a website, Bravo Microsoft👏

did they fix notfications not working if you dont have the app open? i have this bug in the pre release version or whatever

but it does not work (too over zoomed or so) for displays with higher resolution than Full-HD with enlarged fonts or scaled display, ie. 150%.

Imagine if even a single one of these UI patterns was actually represented in the tools they’re advertising

i wished theyd spend more times actually making windows work then more time on animators...

Who knew that an ad for a mail platform would get me excited

Only if window's own interface was that smooth

These animations combat stress and depression effectively

Nobody asked for it , nobody needs this new outlook. Give me the old one back, it was 1000 times better. Thanks for nothing, Microsoft.

I wish windows UI actually looked like this.

The ui looks so cool in this AD but in reality windows is not this cool.

Hands down to the people making this cool animations 🙇🙇

Imagine a world without unnecessary animations - pure BLISS.

Spectacular never-ending praise in the top comments section about animations in a video let aside, this is not actually an upgraded app, but a mere desperate attempt from Microsoft to display ads on your computer and nag for your money. An absolute disaster that will call for a new email client from a different provider...

I tried it for 5 minutes, saw you had incorporated sneaky adverts in the inbox, and immediately reverted back to the old version.

What is the compelling reason to use this free new outlook over the existing paid-for 2021 outlook that supports offline mode?

Ads in mail client no thanks!

I really wish the OS itself used a more 3D-like design language like the one used in these animations. It would look extremely cool.

Everyone wishes that this was the actual interface

You get ads masquerading as new mails in this lol it’s ridiculous

Don't know if anyone noticed this, widgets on win 11 consume a lot of memory. Plus I don't use it anyway. I have turned down all kinds of animations in my win 11. Seems very quite and peaceful and efficient

Okay, but i still dont know how to refresh my emails

*This is a cartoon that explains nothing about the new Outlook.*

I don't care about the product, I just watch the animation its very mesmerizing

What I need is a theme like this on the video to show windows and elements in space like a 3 d effect ^^

Sleek animations

That Crystal animation.... 😭👌...... Wow.............. 😘

The new outlook doesn't allow the import of your folders in My Outlook Data File with your saved emails. This is one of the missing features of the new outlook, which is very disappointing. I switched back to the old outlook because of the non-existence of importing your folders into the new outlook

More work has gone into this video than into the software, or rather the website presented.

If only the New Outlook software was as good as the advertising animation.

Motion designers are just flexing at this point.

I wish they put as much effort into the actual product than the video about it.

Windows is the king of animation ngl

Everybody's talking about the animation but the actual product isn't even a native app💀

Microsoft always nail the animations

I congratulate the designers for a good job done. However, I have been using the test version for some time and I am asked for my subscription when I want to view attachments sent to my google mails. I have to reverted to the current version because of this and I am able to open any attachment sent to my google mails. Can you look into this please? The whole point of using outlook is to manage and seamlessly work between emails.

As a person who took college courses of Office 365. Outlook really did become better.

New Outlook for Windows won't automatically set up all existing email accounts in the Windows Mail version and rejects setting up new accounts, rejects email addresses which are set up in the old Mail. The look and features are great for accounts that work, but this product needs a lot of work, conversion should be seamless. But has great potential, just make it work!

Windows has the best product advetisement.

I tried is app before it insanely glitchy

I never used Outlook before, but now I must give it a try!

Animation team is on another level here. 🎉👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
