Microsoft's Outlook email client is now free for all Mac users

Microsoft is making its email client free for Mac users starting today. It's now available in the App Store and you no longer need a Microsoft 365 subscription or Office licence to use it. It's a surprising move, but it's in line with Microsoft's commitment to making its email client more web-friendly.

Here's What We Know

Outlook for Mac has support for Outlook.com, Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, and any email provider that uses the IMAP protocol. In 2020, Microsoft redesigned its Mac and iOS client to meet the latest operating system standards.

Outlook has also been optimised for M1 and M2 chips and features macOS widgets for calendar entries and supports the Notification Centre. Soon, Microsoft will also add a menu bar view option to quickly view calendar entries in the main Outlook for Mac app. As you can see, Microsoft has gone to great lengths to integrate their email client into Apple's OS, so if you're looking for an email app for Mac and iOS, you might want to check out Outlook.
