The new Outlook finally supports Gmail



The new Outlook app for Windows will bring with it several innovations announced by Microsoft, including the long-awaited support for third-party accounts that will finally allow you to connect your Gmail account, as well as read the related e-mail, but also organize your calendar and contacts. This is a radical change, as until now Outlook only supported personal and work Microsoft accounts. The decision to also include Gmail accounts with the new app therefore marks the first real opening towards third-party accounts.
