It’s been a few months since we launched the new Outlook for Mac in Insider Fast, since then we have already introduced many top-requested features. We have been working hard to build experiences that are seamless, intuitive, and designed to address important workflows – which is why we have been listening closely to your feedback every step of the way.

We appreciate all the feedback you have shared with us, and it is something we pay close attention to as we add more things to Outlook for Mac. For example, you told us how much you need Automatic Replies, move to recently used folders, and message list density settings, so we listened and delivered.

Density settings help you personalize your message list.

Today, starting with the Insider Fast 16.36 (20032300) build, we are sharing some of the most noteworthy updates so far, and also giving you a glimpse into what’s coming soon. Here’s what’s new:
