Simple sort
Outlook.com automatically categorizes newsletters, social updates, photos, and other types of mail. You can also create your own custom categories.

Best for Windows 8.1
Your Mail, Calendar, SkyDrive, and People automatically sync when you sign into a Windows 8 device with Outlook.com as your Microsoft account.
Outlook.com connects all your information across these apps and services, so you can access them on the web—even when you’re away from your PC.
Your Outlook.com account lights up powerful organizational tools in the Windows 8.1 Mail app that you won’t see with Gmail or Yahoo! Mail.
Refreshed contacts
Connect Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Google and you’ll get an address book that stays automatically updated.
Pretty and simple
When you get an email with photos, Outlook.com turns them into a beautiful slideshow. YouTube videos play right in your inbox.
Sweep clean
You can set Sweep to automatically delete or keep email out of your inbox before it arrives. Your inbox stays tidy and you won’t be bothered by unwanted email notifications pushed to your phone.
