Create New Outlook Email

Outlook email is a personal information manager software system from Microsoft, available as the MS Office suite. Primarily an email client, Outlook also includes functions such as calendaring, task management, contact management, note-taking, journal logging, and web browsing.

You can use Outlook as a stand-alone application. Organizations can deploy it as multi-user software for shared tasks such as mailboxes, calendars, folders, data aggregation (ie, SharePoint lists), and appointment scheduling through Microsoft Exchange Server or SharePoint.

Microsoft has built apps for most mobile platforms, including iOS and Android. In addition, Windows Phone devices can synchronize almost all Outlook data with Outlook Mobile. Using Microsoft Visual Studio, developers can also create their own custom software that works with Outlook and Office components.
