Announcing updates to Windows 10 Mail & Calendar apps

We know how important it is you to stay on top of your emails and manage your time well. On the Windows 10 Mail & Calendar team, we’re working hard to come up with new ways to make this possible. Along with architectural improvements that enable enhanced performance and faster innovation, we’re excited to announce several new features today.

These new features are beginning to roll out to all Mail & Calendar users over the next few weeks for their Outlook.com and Office 365 accounts. And we’re working hard to bring these to accounts from other providers in the future.


  • Focused Inbox helps you focus on what matters
  • Mentions to help you get someone’s attention and focus your own
  • Colors categories for calendar events so you can plan your time better
  • Interesting Calendars let you follow favorite events and schedules
  • Stay on top of your travel reservations and package deliveries
  • New features to help you do more with calendar invites

    Thanks Bill - because you just made me realise something.

    1. I've never ever used a Microsoft email application. Before Thunderbird I can't remember what I previously used - likely Netscape but I can't swear to that.

    2. When Firetrust's Mailwasher first came along around the turn of the century I have always used it to quickly "peek at/delete" email directly from the email server. Then I finally download my sanitised email with my email program.

    3. In the distant past I probably at sometime used a Windows calendar for reminders. When mobile phones had that facility I switched over to them for reminders - how long ago was that?

    Memories...

    Even I tried out Outlook Express back in the day when Netscape Mail was being quirky...
