Microsoft Outlook (not to be confused with Outlook Express) has come a long way. It’s gotten a lot of useful features since its debut in 1997.
But its growingintegrationwith other Microsoft applications, such as Teams, makes it even more powerful day by day.
Today, you don’t even have to go Outlook.com to use theemailservice. That’s because you can download and install Outlook for Windows to accomplish the same and much more.
According toMicrosoft 365 Roadmap, another development is coming to Outlook for Windows—the option to store settings in the cloud.

Especially if you’re an enterprise user, youremailswill be overflowing each day. So you turn to your FocusInboxto store only the most important messages.
Well, the ability to sync your Outlook account settings to the cloud comes to fruition this month.
When the feature arrives, you’ll be able to enjoy a consistent FocusInboxexperience, regardless of the desktop computer you’re using to access your Outlook account.
The same is true for any customizations you apply to privacy settings.
A new option found under General Cloud storage options that allow users to choose if they would like to store their Outlook settings in the cloud. This will enable a number of capabilities such as Privacy Settings and FocusInboxto be consistent if they use Outlook on multiple computers and eventually Outlook on the web and mobile.
Microsoft says that it will eventually add this feature to Outlook.com and Outlook for Android and iOS. This means you’ll be able to sync your settings across more devices and platforms.
