Η Microsoft είναι γνωστό ότι ετοιμάζει την ενοποίηση του Outlook με διάφορες πλατφόρμες, κάτι που η εταιρεία συζήτησε κατά τη διάσκεψη Ignite πέρυσι. Ο email client αναμένεται να μετακινηθεί σε μια διαδικτυακή πλατφόρμα που υποστηρίζεται από αυτό που η εταιρεία αποκαλεί Outlook on the web Powered Experiences (ή απλά OPX) και φημολογείται ότι θα έρθει με το επερχόμενο Project Monarch.
While the app is expected to be released as a preview later this year and is set for public release in 2022, Microsoft seems to be posted a screenshot in the release notes for the latest version of Office Insiders Beta Channel.
Notes contains an image consisting of two Outlook windows, with the window in the foreground showing the new Explorer feature. However, the background has a new design that includes new icons, a refreshed left window and rounded window corners. At the moment the design you see above is not something that is released for Insiders, which shows that the company probably published a mock-up for the upcoming email client and not for the final product.
Additionally, the image looks more like the email client version than the web app – which makes sense since the integrations Microsoft is preparing for Outlook are expected to be implemented on the WEB. However, there are the title bar icons, which make the screenshots look like an amalgamation of her email client surfaceς work and the web application.
It is possible that the company from Redmond is preparing a renewed design for desktops to align with the upcoming update Sun Valley of Windows 10 before proceeding with the release of OPX.
