Using Outlook on other devices is very easy and will help you have convenient access to your email inbox.
Microsoft Outlook has lots of features that help you organise your work and personal life with the barrage of emails that flood in daily.
Most are familiar with using the Outlook desktop app, but away from your usual PC or Mac, you can still have access to Outlook.
Open any internet browser and browse office.com. Here you can log in with your email address and password.
Access to other Microsoft 365 Apps
You’ll have access in the left-hand menu, to all of the Microsoft 365 apps that you have a license for, including Outlook. As Microsoft is pushing users to the cloud, you will find that you have many if not most of the features that you are used to with the desktop app.
When receiving email on your iPhone or Android phone, it’s best not to use the built-in email app but to download Microsoft Outlook. Your organisation should have set up security in Microsoft 365 so that your company emails and data on the phone can be controlled and remotely wiped if the phone is lost or stolen. All of your email accounts can be set up in Outlook so that you can easily see all emails.
A very recent addition by Microsoft is the ability to listen to your emails being read to you. This is great if you want to go hands-free and listen to and delete, archive, reply just with voice commands.
Here’s a short video on the new feature (it mentions Apple iOS but is now added to Android as well).
Now, you’ll be able to see that using Outlook on other devices will help you access your emails anywhere you go.

If you are not using Outlook 365 or a similar modern email system, you may be using obsolete technology to receive and store emails. This is not a good idea as it makes you vulnerable to attack. Your mailbox is probably only on your computer hard drive, and you could easily lose the lot. Also, you won’t have all of the other functions that a business can take advantage of.
An overview of features in Outlook 365 includes:
Calendar, contact, and task lists.
A large 50GB primary mailbox.
Add an archive and you have an extra 100GB of storage space
Email recovery: Emails deleted from the deleted folder can still be recovered for a short period of time or you can turn on…
Litigation Hold. With this function, ALL emails are kept in a separate repository. That includes all deleted emails. Litigation hold enables businesses to have all of the emails needed for a court case, even when an employee has tried to cover their tracks.
Option to monitor other mailboxes (e.g., a PA can monitor the boss’s mailbox and action emails with the ‘send on behalf’ or ‘send as’ function).
Shared mailboxes. These do not need to have a license. Mailboxes such as admin, info, enquiries, for example, could be set up and allocated to the appropriate staff members.
As long as the staff members each have a paid license they can also send and receive using the shared mailbox.
Room or equipment mailboxes can also be set up without consuming a license.
With these features and other security functions, you can work more safely and efficiently.
Outlook also integrates with other Microsoft 365 apps such as ToDo and Planner, etc. to contribute to the Modern Workplace, work from anywhere, environment.
In our next blog posts, we’ll look at using Outlook on different platforms.
