Microsoft says its Outlook for Mac email and calendar client is now available for free, and it will no longer require an Office license or a Microsoft 365 subscription to be used.
Outlook for Mac comes with support for Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, iCloud, IMAP, and POP accounts, according to its Mac App Store page.
"The new Outlook is optimized for Apple Silicon, with snappy performance and faster sync speeds than previous versions," said Outlook PM Jeremy Perdue.
In July 2020, the new Outlook for Mac reached the Insider Slow ring, allowing testers to use a "New Outlook" toggle in the window's top right corner to enable the new experience.
Almost two years later, in mid-February 2022, the new Outlook for Mac became the default experience for new and existing users.
"We are rebuilding Outlook for Mac from the ground up to be faster, more reliable, and to be an Outlook for everyone."
