Microsoft Soon to Launch Outlook Web App for Android

Finally, Android users are getting some kind of attention from Microsoft Outlook team as the company recently has revealed Outlook Web App (OWA) for Android platform. The company is soon to launch this application for business editions of Office 365 and Exchange. It comes to know that the upcoming application will bring Android in line with iOS and Windows Phone that both have native OWA applications.



The all new OWA application Android is following last year’s launch of OWA for the iPhone and iPad. It means Android users have gain the earlier access to new exchange features such as the slew that Microsoft declared at this week’s Exchange conference. It is one such application that provides contact, email, calendar features for Office 365 subscribers.

Microsoft wrote on its Office blog on Monday “We know that nearly half of emails are now first seen on the phone. So it's clear that phone is becoming the primary screen for communications… On iPhone and iPad, we released the OWA app last year. And today we announced that we will be releasing the OWA app for Android as our latest step in that journey.”

Among all the new features of OWA, Office 365 is codenamed Clutter as it promises to divide essential email from variety of junk that frequently fill inboxes. Office 365 (codenamed as Clutter) is uses Microsoft’s machine learning methods in order to look for indicators that unveil the meaning of some email messages or senders.

Microsoft said “For example, if you completely ignored Juan's email about his recent vacation pictures, that message was likely unimportant to you – ie, clutter.  On the other hand, if you both read and responded to Cathy's email about her new budget proposal, that message was likely important to you – ie, not clutter.”

Moreover, the all new Clutter feature will push crucial email to the top and drop all those email to the footer that is less interesting. Users of this application are also allowed to tag clutter items as non-clutter if they are selecting it so that similar items doesn’t get tangential in future. Further, they are also able to delete all clutter emails in a single click.

The application is integrated for tightly with OneDrive for Business that enables users to share files between Microsoft’s cloud storage and the OWA app as an email attachment. However, the company is also polishing up group collaboration that support real-time co-authoring on Office Online docs that are stored in OneDrive.

Within OWA application, finally the company is going to use Yammer-inspired group’s lists so that it can bring better collaboration facility across the Office suite.

Microsoft said “Both Outlook Web App and Yammer show the same conversations for the same groups. This means however you prefer to work – whether you live only in email, only in Yammer, or both — you can participate in the group. We're creating a collaboration tool that will allow everyone in your organization to work more closely together, in their preferred manner.”
