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

    Who is your email provider? If you are unsure what is the part of your address after the @ sign?

    You need to use outlook.com or an Exchange account to sync calendar and contacts with the devices. If you use pop or imap, you need to use a sync utility, such as gsyncit to sync calendar & contacts with devices. Or, for iOS, use the iCloud add-in with classic outlook.

    I just downloaded Microsoft 365 and am already thinking I should not have??!! One of the reasons I purchased was hope that my contacts, emails,and calendars in PC, iPhone and iPad would synchronize. Now I discover that the Outlook I just purchased with Microsoft 365 is different that what I already have on my devices?? Contacts are really the things that have not been synchronizing well.

    Should I cancel my subscription?

    I'm only moderately competent with computers and don't follow half of what people have offered about Outlook!

    Hi sorry I didn’t tap back sooner my test machine got doomed. Microsoft, and I’m a veteran has the largest crash test base on the globe, great if you own stock but hard on us consumer's since we want it to work and free would be nice. I flipped the switch quite a while back on the test box and the “new” blew the conversion from pop to imap spectacularly. Bolding and unbolding is a 10 on the annoying scale along with the other hoopla. Although you’ve had a birthday since I’m going to rebuild Mr. test and reinstall, from image, on principle

    can anyone help with this

    If i reset outlook(new) app - it says it will delete all emails which im fine with. My worry is will it delete the emails in "outlook desktop" too?

    Outlook (new) and desktop outlook - both carry different email id's.

    I want to be 100% sure of it, before i reset Outlook(new) app - as i dont want it to affect my outlook desktop at any cost.
