So to make things simpler for you, here’s our short guide on choosing your next email service for your iPhone.

In this way, it manages to provide you with an easy way to access your emails and get a lot done in a small duration of time.
Similar to most of the email services, Microsoft Outlook also offers some additional set of features like swipe functionality, easy access to meeting schedules, ability to attach and view files from other services like OneDrive, Dropbox, support for documents from Microsoft Word, Excel, and other apps, a new search experience to allow you to search for things like files, contacts, trips, etc. Download Outlook
