Thanks to native Mail and third-party apps on iPad, you no longer need to deal with Outlook’s cumbersome web version. You can check and manage your Outlook email in several ways. The apps below offer native notifications, focused inboxes, and other features for a better Outlook experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Set Up Outlook on Apple Mail App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The default Mail app used to be a bare-bone email client on iPad. Over the years, though, Apple has updated its offering with new features. Today, the Mail app is right up there, if not better, than competing third-party apps. Here’s how you can integrate your Outlook account with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Open Settings on iPad and scroll to Mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Select Accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Tap Add Account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Select Outlook.com from the following menu. Enter your Microsoft account login details. If you have enabled 2FA for your Microsoft account, the Mail app may ask for additional authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Once you authenticate your Outlook account successfully, it should appear under the Accounts menu. Tap on it and enable the Mail toggle from the subsequent menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Launch the Mail app and tap the Mailboxes icon at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7: <\/strong>Your Outlook inbox should appear from the sidebar. Expand it and check your inboxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By default, Mail fetches new Outlook emails as soon as they are available from the server. You can tweak the fetch settings from Settings > Mail > Accounts > Fetch New Data menu.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Use the Microsoft Outlook App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the Mail app gets the job done, it still leaves a lot to be desired for power users. For instance, you can\u2019t check your Outlook calendar and contacts in the Mail app. You must switch between several apps to check such details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you routinely access your calendar, we recommend using the Microsoft Outlook email client on your iPad. It\u2019s one of the best third-party email apps on iPad and supports all the popular email providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Download Microsoft Outlook using the link below.<\/p>\n\n\n
