New Microsoft Outlook for Windows: Offline support for mail actions and compose

The upcoming update for Microsoft Outlook for Windows will introduce a new offline support feature, allowing users to perform key email actions and compose new emails without an internet connection. The new feature will start rolling out worldwide by the end of July 2024. With offline support, users will be able to view mail, calendar events, and contacts, and interact with them, even when not connected to the internet. Any actions performed on emails while offline will synchronize back to the server as soon as the user is online. This feature is expected to improve enhanced performance due to faster interaction with items saved on the device and will also require more local storage on the user's device. However, users can adjust folders and settings for offline access.

The new offline feature is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 178030. This update is set for completion by late July 2024, and there is no need for users to take any action to prepare for the rollout.
