With Outlook.com for Android's modern UI-style makeover behind done, Microsoft is turning its attention to boosting the app's functionality, recently releasing an update that packs a plethora of improvements and new features.
The company didn't provide a complete list of all 150 improvements, but most appear to be bug fixes, multi-language support, and other minor tweaks. Nevertheless, Outlook.com fans will find a lot to love in the new app, including improved search capabilities, alias and vacation support, new color themes, and the ability to download all your email.
Server-side search
Chalk this one up in the "it's about time" category, but Outlook for Android now supports the ability to search your entire message history, and not just the emails on your device. Overall, the new feature works pretty well. Outlook is able to figure out pretty quickly whether or not a keyword exists on your device and then offers the chance to search messages on Microsoft's servers.
The server-side search obviously takes longer, but is still pretty quick. It searches the current folder you're in first—typically your inbox—and then offers to scan all folders in your account.
