README

Outlook Web Application as a dedicated application

This provides installers for Windows/Mac/Linux that install a dedicated application which hosts outlook's web application.

Rationale

I have found that the Outlook Web application a great email client for a number of reasons.

  • It always is running the latest without upgrading.
  • It gets new features faster (such as sweep)
  • It starts fast and is really responsive.
  • etc

The one thing that has prevented me from adopting it is the fact that it runs as a browser tab.

  • It gets lost in the soup of other tabs
  • It is harder to get to my email tab because it isn't on my active app list
  • Browser hot keys sometimes interact with the application
  • It doesn't give me notifications when the brower goes away etc.

To solve this I have created (well forked eNkrus version and tweaked) an Electron app which simply runs the Outlook Web app in a dedicated application frame:

Outlook 365 application

This hosts http://mail.office365.com and is suitable for using with enterprise work/school environments

Outlook.com application

This hosts http://outlook.com and is suitable for using for personal email.
