9 Cool Tricks for Outlook.com That You Can't Do in Gmail

For quite a long time Gmail has ruled the place where there is online email services, yet gradually and without a doubt Microsoft has been making Outlook.com a power to be figured with. We're not yet at the phase where we can certainly announce Outlook.com is better than Gmail for your online email checking—however what we can state is here are nine cool tricks for Microsoft's webmail service that Gmail can't exactly coordinate.

We will center around the free, Outlook.com web interface that is accessible to everybody with a Microsoft account, as opposed to the work area form of Outlook that comes as a major aspect of an Office buy. What's more, indeed, we know there's stuff Gmail customer service can do that Outlook.com can't, yet that'll need to sit tight for some other time.

1) Pin messages to the best

Outlook.com gives you a chance to stick the most critical messages to the highest point of the inbox—you simply drift over the message, at that point tap the stick symbol. A similar trap works in any subfolder, so you could have stuck messages for Work, Travel, Finance, or whatever organizers you've made.

Gmail has stars obviously, and multi-hued stars at that, making it easy to discover critical messages. Be that as it may, while featured messages do remain on the Primary tab, they're not kept at the highest point of the inbox or at the highest point of the name they're relegated to for simple survey.

2) Easily drop GIFs straight into messages

Who needs words in any case? Outlook.com makes it super-simple to drop GIFs directly into the body of your messages: From the make window, tap the emoticon catch, at that point change to the GIFs tab and run a search. When you've discovered something reasonable, snap to embed it.

Gmail gives you a chance to include GIFs into your active messages as well, yet the procedure isn't exactly as straightforward—you need to prepare the enlivened picture spared to transfer, or drag it in from a program tab or record window. There's no incorporated search and no single tick to embed.

3) Change the discussion arrange

Gmail spearheaded that discussion see that we as a whole underestimate presently (recall when email strings showed up as individual messages), yet having duplicated the element Outlook.com gives you an additional alternative: Seeing the most up to date messages at the best.

Without a doubt, Gmail breakdown discussion strings so the most up to date message is in every case generally simple to discover, however it can in any case mean a ton of looking over. In Outlook.com, tap the pinion symbol (upper right) at that point pick Newest messages on top under the Conversation see heading.

4) Sweep away your messages

Tap on an email on Outlook.com and at the best you can pick Sweep to set up a speedy standard dependent on this sender. Messages can be set to sidestep the inbox, or to sidestep the inbox following 10 days have passed—it works like a super-basic method for arranging an email channel.

Channels are extraordinary compared to other parts of Gmail as well, and can likewise be made from individual messages, however they don't offer every one of the features of Sweep: For instance, Gmail can't naturally file everything except the latest email from a specific sender for you.

5) Quickly channel messages

Need to see the greatest email in your Outlook.com inbox, or in a specific organizer? Tap the Filter catch on the right, at that point pick Sort by, at that point Size. You can likewise get your messages assembled by sender in the envelope you're seeing—click Filter, at that point Sort by, at that point From.

Gmail can enable you to discover messages above or underneath a specific size, yet it can't sort messages by size, either in the inbox or over a specific name. It can't aggregate messages by sender either like Outlook.com can, however it can unquestionably return a search dependent on that criteria.

6) Go dark

Outlook.com has a fairly fine-looking Dark Mode that you can empower by tapping on the machine gear-piece symbol (upper right) at that point flipping the Dark Mode change to On. You can "turn on the lights" on individual messages in your inbox by tapping on the daylight symbol over the header.

You can get Gmail to go darker, yet you have to head into the Themes area as opposed to flicking a switch, and the dull topics don't influence the body of your messages, or the spring up menus, or the make window. For the present, Outlook.com works best for dim mode fans.

7) Edit Office document 

As you would expect, Outlook.com handles Office connections (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) exceptionally very much in fact—documents can be reviewed and even altered inside the program, with the connected email string unmistakable along the edge, on account of a little assistance from the Office Online suite.

Possibly it's not reasonable for notice this as Gmail incorporates sublimely well with its very own Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides instruments, however reviews and alters can't be completed with the email string still on screen for simple reference. For Office supporters, Outlook.com wins around here.

8) Read your messages, distraction free

Outlook.com carries with it a fairly clever diversion free view, similar to you may be utilized to from Instapaper or Pocket. Right-tap on an email, pick Show in vivid peruser, and everything except for the content is stripped away—Outlook.com can even peruse the email outloud to you.

You don't generally get anything very like this in Gmail, however you can send messages full-screen in the event that you don't need your eye to meander over your different marks or approaching messages. It just truly works for extremely long letters, however it's a cunning instrument to have.

9) Install more additional items

Both Gmail and Outlook.com support additional items from third gatherings, however Microsoft's email stage has much more of them, possibly because of Outlook's life span. Tap the down bolt image in the form window at that point Get Add-ins to perceive what's accessible to introduce.

We tallied more than 200 preceding we got eye strain, including modules from Trello, Dropbox, Boomerang and Yelp, and the rundown goes way further. Gmail (tap the machine gear-piece symbol at that point Get additional items), by examination, just has 68 official modules at the season of composing.
