The new app is
basically a replacement for San Francisco-based email startup Acompli that was
acquired by Microsoft for $200 million in December last year.
Outlook will support
Office 365, Exchange, Outlook.com, Yahoo Mail, Gmail, iCloud and other key
email services. The app will also
help users manage calendar and fetch attachments within the same app. Users will be able to
attach files from Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive or the user’s
mailbox right from the app.
Former CEO of Acompli said in a statement that “Our mission is to
bring the best mobile email experience across platforms, in a way that is as
familiar and functional as Outlook itself,” Javier Soltero, Outlook general
manager.
The new Outlook app
will be a similar experience to the Acompli. Microsoft also
announced that it is removing the “preview” tag from its Office for Android
apps.
