Windows 11's redesigned Outlook app is now rolling out to more users

We already know that Microsoft is developing a new web-based app for the Outlook experience on Windows 11 and Windows 10. The project, called "Project Monarch," aims to create "one Outlook" for all desktop platforms, with support for work/school as well as personal accounts.

Starting today, anyone in the Office Insider Program can access the new Outlook app. To get started, you just need to follow these steps to join the Office Insider Program: Open any Office app > File > Account > Office Insider > Join Office Insider Program and select the channel of your choice.

If you are confused, just select Release Preview and agree to the terms and conditions, then click OK. Once completed, you can click "Try New Outlook" in the upper right corner of the Windows desktop Outlook client to start downloading the new app.

After sliding the toggle switch, all you have to do is follow the on-screen instructions. For example, the updated Outlook app includes a tip to help you move all your data from the previous app. Of course, if you don't like the new Outlook web-based app, you can always switch back to your previous Outlook experience by turning off the toggle.

In addition to the wider rollout, Microsoft is also adding some new features to the email client in today’s update:

• Personal accounts now supported: You can now add Microsoft accounts such as Outlook.com to the Outlook application. Previously, only work or school accounts were supported.
• Quick Steps: Outlook now shows you personalized actions to keep your inbox organized.
• Simpler UI: Microsoft now lets you adjust the width of columns in your calendar.
• Simplified Ribbon Options: New Ribbon options have a sleeker look and feel.
• Tips: You can now view tips to learn more about useful features and more.

Start using the new Outlook app

When you launch the Outlook application for the first time, you will be asked to import settings from an existing Outlook application on Windows. This is because the app is currently supposed to work with the desktop app as it is still under development. You can import settings like theme and density from previous applications.

As you can see in the screenshot above, One Outlook is basically the same as Outlook.com, but it's optimized like a native app with a Ribbon to make it look like a full-blown desktop application. It has View and Home buttons, as well as other features like heme settings, to-dos, etc., available in the top right corner of the app.
