Hello Mary,
Ah, yes. That would confuse people and I see what you mean. Oh right let me put this in to this way. Say I have an Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook, and say a Work account. Yes, as like in Apple Mail you can see each of those mail boxes as being separate mail boxes. One can jump in to Yahoo. Jump out and go to Gmail for the next one. Easy enough. What Outlook does is this. Every email that you have in those mail boxes. So every email in the Inbox of Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook and my Work account can be displayed in this All Mail Box option. In this All Mail Box page. All of those inbox emails are here. No more having to go to each mail boxes separately. It sounds messy but really it grew on me in able to see everything in one place. Yes, Outlook does have the option to see those separate mail boxes as you have in Apple Mail. For me I have a personal mail account, a junk mail account, two AppleVis mail account, and a work mail account. Putting this all together just makes my life easier and faster. Just respond back to the email and it will send it by which inbox it came from. Good question! Sorry for the confusion. ;) Regards, Thomas From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mary Otten Sent: Monday, January 16, 2017 10:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Outlook app Thomas, I lost you when you were talking about the advantage of Outlook because you can see all your mail in one box. You can do that with apple mail. And you have your boxes separate. I have an inbox where I see my Gmail, my Comcast mail, and my iCloud mail all in one box. And I have my separate boxes, each with its own folders if I want. So in that respect, I see no advantage to Outlook. If I were to use Outlook, what I be able to have my separate boxes? If not, that is a dealbreaker.

The answer is no. What you hear for the preview is what you get. Which is quite a bit and I think is longer than what Apple Mail gives you. Of course you don't have to do the three fingers tap to hear the preview this is automatically read to you as you swipe to the mail on Microsoft Outlook which I love and miss in what Apple ripped out. Personal preferences of course. Second question is why would I use Microsoft Outlook over Apple Mail. I almost have to say you haven't tried this yet I can see. ;) Well perhaps you did. Again, this is a personal preference. What I love out Microsoft Outlook for the iOS is that I have many emails and mail boxes. So if you have the similar issue and hate having to jump in and out of all of your mail boxes. Outlook offers an All Mail and which I totally love. All of my emails in all of the mail boxes are displayed on oin one place. No more jumping around all over the place. The second thing I like is the what is called the Focus and Others. This is a very simple rule based options that Outlook gives you to control in what you want to see that is important and not important. For example, all of the mail that comes in that I do want to see now I have set up to come in the Focus page. All others non-essential mail goes in to my Other page. This separate from what I want and those I will deal with at another time. You teach which mail that you want to go in to the Focus or Other page. So these essential mail from work goes in to my Focus and the mailing list can go in to the Other page if you want. The choice is yours. Lastly, under the file section you can see all of the attachments that you have in all of your mail boxes. At any time you can simply put them in to various cloud services like iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, and etc. Yes, Apple Mail has this but what it doesn't do is that you have a page that shows all of the mail with attachments and easily can drop them in to cloud drive and vice versa on the fly. Overall, I find the experiences on the Outlook smoother and can handle many mail boxes so much easier. Being able to see everything all in one place really helps. There are a lot of little things that went in to this design and you just won't find in the standard Apple Mail. So if you only have just one mail or maybe two. Don't get a lot of mail. It is probably not for you. For those with more mail boxes and have to deal with a lot of emails. I really would try this out. Its free and you have nothing to lose. Which by the way just because it is Microsoft Outlook isn't just for Outlook accounts or exchanges. It will work with iCloud, gMail, Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo, and many other services and custom ones like what Apple Mail offers.
