Windows 10 Insiders on the Fast Ring, however, have received some new features that definitely make the default email client a good deal more functional, as MSPU reports. In fact, these features are Windows 10 exclusives, meaning that for once it will be iOS and Android users who may feel a bit neglected.

First up is the ability to open new email messages in a new window. That’s a feature that leverages Windows 10’s multi-windows interface and so will likely never make it to the Outlook mobile apps on the other platforms. Simply click on the icon in the upper-right corner of a message pane and you’ll be able to view more than one email message at a time.
Next up is support for Windows 10 notification Quick Actions. When a new email comes in, you’re now presented with a pertinent set of options. For example, you can delete an email or set a flag without need to start up Outlook for Windows 10 and select the message.
The last update in this round is @mention support. When you’re typing a message, you can now add someone to the address line by simply @mentioning them in the message body.
Once again, these new features are only available to Windows 10 Insiders brave enough to be signed up in the Fast Lane. There’s usually a lag of a few days or sometimes a few weeks before the newest features roll out to all Windows 10 users, and so if you’re not a Windows Insider or if you’re in the Slow or Release Preview then it might be some time before these new features roll out to your Outlook for Windows 10 app.
