Microsoft Outlook

Corporate inbox software

Microsoft Outlook is an email and calendar application, part of Microsoft's Office suite.

Outlook dominates corporate environments, where it integrates with Exchange servers for scheduling meetings, sharing calendars, and managing contacts.

The interface centers on an inbox, with folders for organizing messages: I'll send you an Outlook invite for the meeting.

Outside work settings, many still use Outlook for personal email, though web-based alternatives have grown more common.
