Outlook will complete the unification of different platform versions

The outlook is an email client that many users use. Of course, the software not only has a client but also a web version and a mobile version for users on all platforms.

But whether it is the PC version, the mobile version, or the web version, Outlook is often complained about, or it is bloated or unresponsive or has a poor user experience.

In particular, the mobile version of Outlook has the worst user experience. Finally, after many years, Microsoft decided to restructure the company’s mail service.

Next, Microsoft will usefully unified technology to develop desktop, mobile, and web versions of Outlook, and Microsoft plans to integrate services on all platforms.

Microsoft has decided to refactor Outlook. The reason for the refactoring is complaints from users and planning issues. In fact, Outlook has been pieced together in the development of these years, especially the clients of different platforms are developed at different times according to different technology stacks.

This lack of long-term planning has led to huge differences in the Outlook experience on different platforms. This is why a large number of users complain but Microsoft cannot solve it.

Because if you want to solve it, you have to refactor the versions of different platforms. It is not easy to refactor a product like Outlook that has hundreds of millions of dollars.

But in the end, Microsoft is determined to refactor and unify Outlook on all platforms so that users can use the software on different platforms to get a consistent experience.

The Microsoft Outlook manager said in the meeting that different infrastructures will be integrated. The most important thing for Outlook development is to move towards a common architecture.

Microsoft will develop Microsoft Sync Tech technology as back-end support, and Outlook on different platforms will use the same network infrastructure.

At the same time, Microsoft will use React and other Web technologies to improve UI performance and bring sharing functions, and it can also save resources such as memory and improve user experience.

Microsoft said that interested users can participate in the Microsoft Office Insider program, and the beta version will be first pushed to test users after the early development is completed.
