Microsoft Launches Outlook for iOS with iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo Mail Support

[polaris20]

Be sure to ask your IT department first. Outlook/Accompli inserts itself between the user and the enterprise mail server, i.e. their cloud service fetches the mail from your work Exchange server to store and process it, meaning all your work email and your login credentials will be exposed to Microsoft. Many enterprises have policies in place prohibiting this kind of thing.

I am the IT department.

And we've already banned it. :lol:

Shame, it's a nice app otherwise.

I just downloaded this app yesterday to try out. Everything works great except added contacts do not show up in outlook.

I have this setup with my Gmail account. If I add a contact to my Gmail account on my computer it syncs with the contacts on my iPhone properly. The new contact also shows up in mailbox and inbox email apps with not problem. However, the contacts added never show up in Outlook.

How do I get Outlook to see the contacts I add through Gmail?

You might try to configure the in-built iOS contact sync, as IIRC Outlook's Contact tab now takes contacts from the iOS address book (i.e. Contacts.app).

Those who use Outlook, what do you do with the default mail app on IOS?
Reason I ask, is I have not found a way to make outlook default mail app. So if I click on a web link to email someone, it always opens the mail ios app. So currently I have my exchange work email, in both outlook and the mail app, which I am sure isn't the most efficient way. Plus I don't like having my work mail as my default mail.

Would be nice if the default sound wasn't the default 'text' sound from every phone. Annoying.
