New Outlook on Microsoft Windows 11 gets Apple iCloud and more

Outlook app opens on Windows 11

iCloud support for Outlook on Windows 11 is now available to everyone. You can add your iCloud account by clicking the gear icon in the menu, which will open the Email Accounts settings where you can manage your connected accounts. From there, click "Add Account" and connect your iCloud account.

While the original Outlook client or UWP app has always supported Apple's email service, the feature is missing from the new web app for Windows 11. For those who don't know, Microsoft is replacing the old Outlook application with a new Outlook application. While opinions are mostly mixed, new apps add tons of features with every update.

One of the main complaints about the new Outlook app is that it is a web wrapper. While the old app was a proper UWP app, the new app didn't run completely offline until recently. As complaints remain unabated, Microsoft is working on adding new features to Outlook for Windows 11.

New Outlook App

Outlook recently gained support for Gmail, Google Calendar, and Contacts in an update. In addition to iCloud support now available to everyone, Microsoft also plans to add offline support for more pages in Outlook, such as Calendar or Events.

Outlook for Windows 11 is getting RSVP support soon

Outlook has also added some features.

The first exciting new feature is the ability to reply to meetings. The option, which appears on Microsoft's roadmap page, will allow users to get all the information about a meeting without joining it. This option is ideal for users who don't like to attend meetings but have all the necessary information.

The RSVP feature doesn't expire until month 2024, so you'll have to wait a while before you can skip these meetings.

The second feature in the works will also help you organize these meetings. When a user declines a meeting, the Outlook calendar automatically reflects that so the user can track the meeting.

This feature is especially useful for professionals who are stuck with daily meetings but cannot attend all of them due to time constraints.

This feature is available in the new Outlook app, but is turned off by default. To enable it, you have to follow these steps:

1. Open the Outlook app
2. Navigate to Calendar > Settings > Events & Invitations > Save Rejected Events".
   
3. Then check the "Show rejected events in calendar" option.
4. Rejected meetings will now start showing up in the calendar.

Declined meetings appear only if you have declined meetings for all Outlook clients and Teams except the classic Outlook for Windows client.

New features are currently rolling out to everyone. If you haven't received it yet, switch to the new Outlook experience and update the app.
