Microsoft has started rolling out a new Groups features in its Outlook.com webmail, which should be familiar for those of you already using Office 365 groups. By adding contacts to a group, you’ll be able to send them messages, share files, schedule events on a group calendar, and more, and it’s worth noting that you can add group members using other emails services than Outlook.com

This new feature is available in the left panel of the Outlook.com web app. If you’be been invited to different mutiple Outlook.com Groups, there’s also a “Follow in inbox” option which will send all group conversations and calendar events in both the group mailbox and your personal Outlook.com inbox.

We are rolling this out worldwide on Outlook.com and expect all users to have access by the end of August 2019 with expanded support to create a group in mobile in Fall of 2019, the company said yesterday in the blog post announcing the new feature. You can learn more about how to get started with Outlook.com Groups on this support page.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
