Outlook email

The Various Benefits Of The Outlook Email 2013 System The outlook email system, coming from Microsoft, is simultaneously one of the oldest connections of mankind with internet and also definitely an example of robust modern features coming together to develop an authentic email service provider.

The first product came to the market in 1997, and after close to almost two decades of service, the latest version outlook 2013, still continues to attract a niche target crowd looking for an authentic professional email system. The other email service providers are no less professional, but there is something in the brand appeal of ‘outlook’ that has made it a clear favorite of anyone who is looking forward to optimize the professional email user experience. If it’s the best in professional user experience you are seeking, there is no better alternative than outlook.

The new outlook email has several key features making it the best it is. The Microsoft technical blog reveals a host of new features in the 2013 version. (Really, how may email service providers have come up with a 2013 version? There are none that you can usually find!) If you are already a veteran outlook user (which this article assumes you are), you can easily migrate to the 2013 version from the older variations.

There are certain critical migration considerations like whether co existence of various versions of outlook is possible, and whether it is important to click on the ‘do not create a new compressed OST file on upgrade’ before you opt for upgrade. But Microsoft is quite helpful in its service, enumerating the various technical aspects that you need to incorporate into your user experience. In fact, these upgrade issues just represent the tech savvy-ness of the outlook platform, unlike other email service providers. If you have a certain penchant for technical aspects of the internet, other than just blandly putting in your user id and password, you would definitely like outlook email 2013, handling which requires some degree of internet technical knowhow. Using the new email system requires you to know the two different types of outlook data files (.ost and .pst), and the fact that in the 2013 version, when you use it, a new compressed version of .ost file is created, which is significantly thinner (40% thinner) than any previous versions of data files. Why do you need to know this? It’s because like mentioned in the paragraph before this, you have an option to click on a ‘do not create a new compressed OST file on upgrade.’

 Otherwise, there might be some compatibility issues because this new version of .ost files has been never seen before. Among the several other great new features of the outlook email 2013, there is a feature called the DLP or the Data Loss Prevention. Inspiring assurance of data safety in the very first glance, this feature helps the user to safeguard sensitive data and inform other users of internal compliance policies. Specially designed with professional usage in mind, this feature is waiting to be explored on how to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data, and thereby maintain subtle glass walls of communication.

 Speaking of ‘other people’, this new email has been made to stay more connected to others users. You can actually import contacts from your social media page or incorporate social media with the email. There is also a separate section called ‘People Hub’ to manage your interaction with various degrees of acquaintances. In fact, the outlook email 2013 incorporates several new improvements. There’s the Attachment Reminder system to help you double check before you are sending an attachment through mail. Definitely a great benefit to save sending from wrong attachments.

You can turn on/off the controls of this system. Then there is the EAS protocol or the Exchange Active Sync, that assists in integration of tasks, calendars and emails, enriching further the user experience. You already read about the People Hub and the social media incorporation above. Then there are the IMAP improvements. Significant performance improvements include an overall faster performance than any earlier version of outlook. Since the earlier versions are compatible with competitor email providers, so you can safely assume that the new outlook is significantly faster than any of the available emails in the market. They have been so fast that no other email service provider has been able to come up with a 2013 upgrade.
