Microsoft Outlook 2013 32bit-64bit download
Microsoft’s leading e-mail program shows its age. If you think that Microsoft Outlook 2013 will have new dramatic features and enhancements, like other programs in Office 2013, you are wrong. For the most part, Microsoft Outlook 2013 remains almost the same as the 2010 version. Here is what has changed:
The whole app has a consistent look, which matches the design language of Windows 8. The whole program is massive and contains lots of white and gray with random blue accents. For me, this color scheme is difficult to distinguish between certain interface elements. There are no more icons and everything is difficult in the text. Below you will find sections for mail, calendar, people, tasks and more. Gone are the buttons and icons, leaving room for minimalist text (function () {(‘page-view-application-page-desktop’);});
Microsoft Outlook 2013 has a touch mode that displays the same menus as other applications in Office 2013. There is a panel with frequently used commands such as reply, delete, move, select and bookmark. This is great and gives Microsoft Outlook 2013 a nice touch.
You can now press to zoom the calendar to switch between days, weeks and months. If you have a Microsoft Outlook 2013 party other than the calendar, you can now hover over the calendar section to view pop-ups and tasks for that day. The calendar also shows weather information for your area.
Microsoft Lync is still fully integrated with Microsoft Outlook 2013, so you can see your peer status and start an audio or video call directly from Microsoft Outlook 2013.
Although the appearance of the e-mail is a bit difficult to read due to the black and white color space, people’s perception of Microsoft Outlook 2013 will improve significantly. Contacts will now receive information from online sources, such as Facebook and Linkedin, if you have linked these services to your Microsoft account.
Microsoft Outlook 2013 combines dual contacts to create a unique contact card with aggregated information. If your contact has an image, it will appear as a thumbnail image next to the contact. Surprisingly, Microsoft did not include this in the Microsoft Outlook 2013 email browser, which will help differentiate between different email addresses.
Even more confusing is the lack of streaming messages in Microsoft Outlook 2013. You will still be looking for previous emails from conversations. Surprisingly, Microsoft’s own e-mail program in Windows 8 and Windows RT comes with message streaming.
Another annoying change is Microsoft Outlook 2013 messages. There is no way we can reject them all en masse, so you close lots of notifications if Microsoft Outlook 2013 returns to the Internet. Microsoft also lost the ability to act via email from a message, which was a very useful feature.
If you do not like Outlook 2010, Microsoft Outlook 2013 will not hit you. There are some useful new features, but its clumsy interface and missing Office 2013 features feel like an outdated email client.
