Quote:Microsoft is putting a lot of effort into getting the Outlook email client right on all platforms, and both Android and iOS versions receive updates on a regular basis.
 
Most recently, Microsoft released an Outlook for Android update to introduce a couple of new features, one of which gives users more control over their notifications.
 
First and foremost, this latest update increases the app version number to 3.0.73, so make sure you are running at least this release to get the updated features.
To check the version, launch the Outlook app on your Android device > Menu icon > Settings > Help & feedback > Scroll down.

Beginning with this version, you can star a specific contact (or add them to your list of favorites) by simply opening contact details. This makes the whole process a bit more straightforward, especially if you have multiple contacts with similar names and you can’t tell which one is which.

And second of all, Outlook for Android now comes with more notification settings specifically aimed at favorite contacts. In other words, you can now configure the email client to only show notifications when favorite people email you, so you won’t be disturbed when messages from other contacts land in your inbox.
