Innovative Features in Outlook 2013

When we look at a new iteration

of any leading software, we typically focus on major enhancements and feature changes that seem to jump off the screen. In case of Outlook 2013 elements such as the People module which drastically alters the erstwhile Contacts module and powerful Business Contact Manager seems to have drawn the most attention. However Outlook 2013 encompasses several interesting and innovative features that are designed to jazz up your Outlook experience.

Outlook can tell you about the weather in your city

Microsoft has landed up a big surprise by adding a weather bar to the Ms Outlook client. Now you can know whether it is going to rain in the city and temperatures you can expect in the coming days right from your email client. Outlook currently uses data from MSN weather to populate the gadget; however advanced users can change it to another service. While its overall utility may be a little suspect, some believe the weather bar may influence your meeting requests.

Preview Initial Content of Email without even selecting them

Imagine a scenario where you receive a bunch of emails every hour and simply do not like to open each email. The preview feature displays the initial line from an email, thus giving you the chance to identify important emails by giving a quick glance.

Finally Microsoft Adds an Attachment Reminder

Google must be thanked for this little piece of innovation. Since the time an attachment reminder was rolled out in Gmail, many Outlook users have been canvassing the Redmond based software giant to introduce the feature. Well thankfully in Outlook 2013 when you have typed the word ‘attachment’ in email body and have not added an attachment before sending, the application will throw up an attachment reminder. You will get the option to stop the email or ignore the alert and send the message by clicking on the Send Anyway option. In case you feel that the reminder is going to bug you; just check the box for ‘Don’t show this message again’ to avoid reminders in future.

Dealing with messed up PST files in Outlook 2013

Microsoft has put in a great deal of effort to make the Outlook 2013 edition an unmatched success and the popularity of this iteration is a testament to its strengths. However the product still has some drawbacks like its predilection to crash out of the blue. Now if you ever encounter an Outlook crash, you may have to consider the possibility of data loss arising out of the situation. However if you get hold of a powerful
