Using Microsoft Outlook on Your iPad

Once you’ve set up Microsoft Outlook on your tablet, you can customize it to better suit your needs.

Swiping

Like other iOS/iPadOS apps, Microsoft Outlook relies heavily on swiping tools. Specifically, swipes allow you to move quickly through emails that show up in your Inbox. You can customize the swipe actions in the app. By default, a Swipe Left automatically archives an email; Swipe Right isn’t set by default.

Organize By Thread

With the built-in organize mail by thread tool, you can arrange email messages as conversational threads that are based on the message subject. The tool is turned on by default, although you can change this setting at any time. To adjust:

Filter Emails

One of the easiest ways to avoid some clutter in Microsoft Outlook is to filter your emails. In the iPad version of Microsoft Outlook, this is limited to Unread, Flagged, Attachments, and Mentions Me. You can find the Filter choices on any tab in the app, including Focused and Other. In the following example, only emails with attachments are shown.

Take Quick Actions on a Message

When drilling down on an email, you can access built-in quick actions. These include Move to Folder, Move to Other, Report Junk, Snooze, Print Conversation, Ignore Conversation, Mark Unread, Flag, and Create a Task. To access the quick actions in Microsoft Outlook on iPad:

Change the Calendar View

Microsoft Outlook has a calendar that you can access across multiple devices. On iPad, you can change how you view this calendar. The choices include Week, Agenda, Day, or Month.

Conversations and Notifications From Your Contacts

Add a Favorite Folder

By adding a catch-all folder, you can have easy access to your favorite emails. By default, these favorites include your Inbox, Sent, Deleted, and Your Family Folders. You can easily add Drafts, Archive, Groups, Junk, Conversation History, and RSS Feeds to your favorites list. Note: You can only make changes to emails hosted by Microsoft. To adjust your list of favorites in Microsoft Outlook for iPad:

RSVP an Invitation

When you receive a calendar invitation in Microsoft Outlook, you can RSVP directly from the Microsoft Outlook app. In the following example, you’ve been invited to a birthday party on September 26:

Once you’ve accepted an invitation, it will show up on your Microsoft Outlook calendar. From there, you can adjust your RSVP at any time.

Lots You Can Do

Microsoft Outlook on iPad isn’t nearly as robust as the desktop versions. And yet, there are still things you can do to customize the mobile experience. The app’s available in the App Store. Though the app’s free, you must have an active Microsoft 365 subsciption to use the email client. For home use, the Microsoft 365 suite is currently available in three varieties, including a Family, Personal, and Home & Student plan. The first is priced at $100 per year (or $10/month) and includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook for Mac, and is useful for up to six users. The Personal version is for one person and is $70/year or $6.99 per month. The student plan is a one-time purchase of $150 and includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint only. Business users can select from Basic, Standard, and Premium plans, starting at $5 per user/month.
