Microsoft has announced the new Outlook for Windows beta, which will make the desktop email client more like the web version.

While screenshots and a full version of the app were recently leaked, Microsoft’s announcement gives us a good look at what kind of features we can expect to see in our inboxes.

According to a Microsoft post, Outlook will get quite a few new features as well as an updated design. For starters, it will be integrated with Loop, Microsoft’s system for collaborating on things like polls, to-do lists, and more across Office.

There’s also a new system for attaching files, if you have something stored in the cloud, you can type the “@” symbol and then the file name, and you’ll have a list of matching files ready to be added to an email.

Microsoft has also added some calendar and task features, some of which are simple, such as the ability to pin emails to the top of your inbox so they stay in your face until you deal with them.

And you’ll be able to drag emails into the board and designate them as to-do items or calendar events if you want to reserve time to respond – and after doing that you can look at the new calendar view that shows task lists, notes, and many other customizable information alongside the actual calendar.

Microsoft’s post mentions a myriad of other features as well, for example when you reply to a calendar invitation, you can decide if you’ll attend in person or virtual; Inbox scanning feature will be included in the app; Outlook will pin messages it thinks are important if you’ve missed it.
