Today Microsoft introduced Outlook.com, a new and can be considered as an improved counterpart to its webmail service Hotmail. Outlook.com is simple, fluid and interactive in design that makes it easy to use whether you’re on a desktop, phone or tablet.
A preview of Outlook.com is now available for everyone though the company is yet to announce the final release plans. But the first hand experience of Outlook.com is really good. Just like its predecessor (Hotmail) it will be free email service with features from Hotmail and Exchange, and users will also be able to import contacts from Facebook, Twitter, Gmail and LinkedIn.
Microsoft shared the first glimpse of Outlook.com on official Facebook page. The post read as,
Today we introduced Outlook.com, a new personal email service that reimagines the way that people use email – from a cleaner look, to fewer and less obtrusive ads, to new connections to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
The main features that come packed with Outlook.com are:
