Outlook 215 Will Not Compose Mac Beta Testers

Starting this week, Outlook for Mac beta testers (in the Fast Ring) will be able to access a new design that comes with some significant performance improvements.

It means Office 365, Outlook.com, and even Google accounts will sync faster thanks to Microsofts cloud services.

Collapsible panels have been added so you can customize the main view of mail and tweak the toolbar accordingly.

Following the same design principles as the Office 365 user experience updates announced last year, the ribbon was updated in the new Outlook for Mac to be fully customizable, explains a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge.

In Mac environment, we refer to it as a toolbar at this time, there are no plans to announce updates to the ribbon elsewhere on Office for Mac.

Microsoft has also moved the search bar to the top of Outlook for Mac, and integrated Microsoft Search into the results.

That should mean search results are quicker and more relevant, and theres even new filters to let you customize searches fully.

Microsoft is really trying to win over power users who use Outlook for Mac, and bring it closer to being level with the Windows and web variants.

Youll be able to try this new Outlook for Mac update in the Fast Ring this week by toggling New Outlook in the top right-hand corner, and Microsoft is planning more updates over the coming months.
