User settings usability improved with a new “Account” settings category in Outlook on the web
Outlook on the web has a new “Account” settings category for improved usability. Settings like Automatic replies, Email signatures, Categories, Mobile devices, and Storage have been moved to this category. Rollout begins late August 2024 for Targeted Release and late September 2024 for General Availability. Organizations may need to update training and documentation.
We have improved the usability of settings by moving various user settings into a new “Account” settings category in Outlook on the web.
When this will happen:
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out late August 2024 and expect to complete by late September 2024.
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late September 2024 and expect to complete by early October 2024.
How this will affect your organization:
| Which setting moved? | Where was it originally? | Where is it now? |
| Automatic replies | New “Account” category | |
| Email signatures | Mail > Compose and reply | New “Account” category |
| Categories | General | New “Account” category |
| Mobile devices | General | New “Account” category |
| Storage | General | New “Account” category |
In the new “Account” category that we’ve introduced to Outlook web, you can view and manage your account details, and even access your subscription details for Microsoft 365 and Copilot if you’re logged into a Consumer Outlook account.
To view your account details:
- Navigate to the Settings (⚙️) icon > select “Account”
- Select “Manage”
To return to your “Account” page, select “Return to account page” at the bottom of the screen.
What you need to do to prepare:
You may consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate.
