Microsoft is releasing a new preview of Windows 10 today with some additional features and changes. While a previous build leaked with new Outlook Mail and Calendar apps, Microsoft is providing them officially today in build 10061.
Microsoft is borrowing the new swipe actions from its Outlook for iOS / Android client and bringing them to the Windows version, and if you have a Windows 10 touch machine then you’ll be able to swipe right on mail to set a flag or swipe left to delete messages. These swipe actions are customizable, just like the mobile version of Outlook. There’s also support for multiple accounts, and easy ways to add Google or Exchange accounts.
The Calendar app is very similar to the look and feel of the Mail app, with support for Google Calendar and even shared Google calendars work fine. The new colorful Calendar app is greatly improved over the Windows 8.1 version, and it also feels like an Office app. Microsoft hasn’t integrated it directly into its Mail app, so it will launch as its own separate app in the same way it did in Windows 8.1.
