The control panel can be customized to your liking. On the left side of the screen are icons for quickly switching between multiple accounts (again, as in Outlook for iOS).

The new Outlook for macOS is generally very similar toversion for Windows 10. The control panel and account switching icons are the same here, however, the built-in search and calendar have been redesigned. The application will look for the letters you need much faster and more accurately, and the calendar is convenient for adding new appointments directly in the mail client.

It is unclear when the public release will take place.updated Outlook, but internal beta testing of versions for both systems has already begun. Most likely, Office 365 subscribers will be the first to try all these changes, after which this version will be included in the Office 2019 package.
