Friends.

Can anyone tell me when to use the Outlook in Microsoft 365 and when to use the new Outlook desktop app.

I have both installed on my computers - which I suppose is unnecessary. But I don't understand the difference?

Appreciate if someone can explain this!

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For business

    Thank you shiggitylockless for arrowing in even more precisely on the point I was making.

    If in time we cannot afford the Office 365 Subscription, then there are countless YouTube Windows gurus out there making a living by exulting how easy it is to get Office 365 Free and we will take advantage of that, er, generosity.

    I would add, that Microsoft's decision to hand over for free so much of what we have paid for (as a subscriber of some years standing) was damn annoying. If it weren't for the fact I'm the nerdy type who likes the latent paid (extra) functionality, I would be (even more) cheesed off than I am.

    Yup, that's the exact goal... to confuse users. They are all outlook now. Outlook on the web (browser), Outlook desktop app, Outlook (new), Outlook [released year], Outlook (PWA), Outlook <fill in the blanks>

    IF "New Outlook" Is Replacing the free Windows Mail App. Then Why Does my Paid outlook have a radio button to switch to "New Outlook" Is this a different "New Outlooks" and why would MS push people away from an app they are paying for in lieu of a free app that lacks features present in the paid one. This has to be branding in the most confusing way possible and I want to know is there 2 separate New Outlooks or no, and if no can we remove the radio button to switch since this is creating support nightmares already. Thank you.

    Perdonen cualquier estupidez, pero lo que no me queda claro de los intercambios hasta la fecha es esto: uso Outlook '365' como parte de un sub'n de Office 365. Si hago clic en 'Probar el nuevo Outlook', ¿me beneficiará con algunos accesos directos y funcionalidades que actualmente no están disponibles para mí?

    ¿O me sacará de Outlook 365 y me dejará en la versión web gratuita, abierta a todos, lo que me obligará a volver a cargar Outlook 365 (sub'n), debido a la falta de ciertas funciones que no están disponibles en la versión gratuita y que disfruto?

    ¿O se recomienda ignorarlo? Y si es así, ¿por qué no quitar la invitación a los suscriptores de pago de Outlook 365 (Office)?

    Es confuso.

    I have exactly the same doubt as "Rocassa45".

    I'm a very basic user who hasn't understood anything from the comments above the one mentioned. I currently pay for the Microsoft 365 subscription and in My Computer, I have 2 Outlook app: Which one do I use and which do I delete?

    And I also find it confusing that from one the other is recommended to me.

    Not to mention that a few months ago I think I had the same problem/doubt and almost certainly 95% uninstall at least one app. But I have two again.

    Forgive any stupidity, but what remains unclear to me from exchanges to date is this: I use Outlook '365' as part of an Office 365 sub'n. If I click on 'Try the New Outlook', will it benefit me with some shortcuts and functionality currently not available to me?

    Or will it take me out of (sub'd) Outlook 365 and dump me in the Free Web version, open to all, requiring me to reload Outlook 365 (sub'n), due to lack of certain functionality not available in the Free version and which I enjoy?

    Or is it recommended to ignore? And if so, why not strip the invitation from paid Outlook 365 (Office) subscribers?

    It is confusing.
