- Microsoft released the Outlook.com beta to the public on August 8, 2017
- The Outllook.com beta requires the user to opt-in. (Note: Opt-in is not permanent at this time, one can also opt-out. Also, beta features should be considered as ‘most-likely to become permanent’ in the foreseeable future)

- Quick Suggestions is enabled by default and shows suggestions as you type
- Quick Suggestions are available in the user’s Inbox when composing a message
- Quick Suggestions can easily be disabled in the mail composition setting
