The new Outlook was outlined under Microsoft's 'One Outlook' plan, with testing starting in 2022.[4] In September 2023, Microsoft started transitioning users of the previous apps to the new Outlook.[5] It was released on the Microsoft Store that month, although it remains in preview status.[6]

Outlook for Windows is a web app based on the WebView2 runtime,[7][8] and builds on features found in Outlook on the web.[5] It still has some features from Microsoft Outlook (which Microsoft refers to as Classic Outlook in this context[9]) missing like .pst files.[6]

The free version includes advertising, and does not currently enable all IMAP accounts to be set up. It does not support iCloud aliases. It does not work offline.[10]
