To enhance your Microsoft 365 experience in new Outlook for Windows, Outlook.com, Outlook for iOS, Outlook for Android, and new Outlook for Mac, you can now sync your non-Microsoft accounts (including their emails, contacts, and events) to the Microsoft Cloud. This is available for Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, and IMAP accounts in Outlook for iOS, Outlook for Android, and new Outlook for Mac. This is also available for Gmail and Yahoo accounts in new Outlook for Windows and for Gmail accounts in Outlook.com. This allows you to enjoy many features that were previously only available to those with Microsoft 365, or Microsoft Exchange Online email accounts.
What happens when I sync my account to the Microsoft Cloud?
Syncing your account to the Microsoft Cloud means that a copy of your email, calendar, and contacts will be synchronized between your email provider and Microsoft data centers. Having your mailbox data in the Microsoft Cloud lets you use the new features of the Outlook client (New Outlook for Windows, Outlook for iOS, Outlook for Android, Outlook.com, or Outlook for Mac) with your non-Microsoft account, just like with your Microsoft accounts.
Your experience on your native account and within any apps from that provider will remain unchanged.
