Originally posted by Microsoft Jun 13, 2024 Uncategorized 0 Comments

The new Microsoft Outlook update introduces search filters such as All, Mail, Files, Teams, and People. The rollout for Targeted Release begins mid-July 2024 and for General Availability, mid-August 2024. No admin action is required for this automatic update. Users may need to be informed.

Coming soon for new Microsoft Outlook for Desktop and Microsoft Outlook for the web: Users will be able to filter search results by All, Mail, Files, Teams, and People.  The Teams filter shows relevant chat messages. In the People results, users can select a person’s name to display their full People card. 

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 398707.

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-July 2024 and expect to complete by mid-August 2024.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-August 2024 and expect to complete by mid-September 2024.
