Outlook version, contained in the office 2010 package.

Outlook is a program that works under the Windows platform and has been developed by the Microsoft company to give support to people who needed a manager email. The function of this program is to receive and send emails as well as to store received and sent messages. It also has other functions, but in general, those described above are the basic functions. Now all email management at the Username basic, it is done with the browser from Internet, be this browser Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera or any of the many browsers that exist on the market. Outlook is part of the package installation from Microsoft office.

Review that in the already "expired" Windows XP, there was a simple version of Outlook that allowed anyone to access basic functions to receive and send emails. Outlook in its first versions was quite easy to handle, you had to follow the instructions of your Internet service provider, whether it was telephone, Vodafone, etc. etc. there are hundreds of operators.

Today it is falling into disuse due to its complexity configuration and that people generally prefer emails whose domain (the famous @ xxxxxx.com) can be used with any Internet provider. When you used the domain of a service company, for example: [email protected] when changing companies you lost the domain, telefonica.com and you could no longer send or receive messages, you had to notify your contacts of the change of e-mail. The latter was annoying to say the least. In fact, it was used by some company commercials, to force people to stay within the Internet service company.

The new versions of this program come so prepared that just by entering the email that your Internet service provider has assigned you, Outlook detects the configuration automatically. This is not true for all network operators, although it is true for most. This program is not the only mail management program that exists, however it is widely used in comparison with other programs that usually have to be paid for.

With the operating system Windows 7, Outlook has disappeared and replaces it, free of charge, a tool called Windows Mail. This tool is part of the defunct Messenger and is available for free by downloading a component of the Windows Life package called mail. Outlook is still available, forming part of the corporate package (or aimed at companies) called Microsoft office.
