Microsoft Outlook for Android supports viewing inline images and opening of attachments in Calendar events.

Microsoft is finally letting users view inline images in Outlook Calendar on Android. Additionally, Microsoft Outlook Calendar also supports opening the attachments or viewing them inline. The software giant says this can be done from the event details.

While this new feature sounds great, in my opinion, it only highlights Microsoft Outlook shortcomings. First, this a long overdue feature. Secondly, the app still does not support attaching files directly in the app on Android. Sure, this can be done in the email part, but it is still not possible to rely entirely on the Calendar section to get things done and not being able to add an attachment to an event on my devices is a bummer.

Hopefully, Microsoft will bring adding attachments to calendar events soon. Until then, grab today's update in the Play Store.

Yahoo Mail now supports Android 8.0 Oreo, photos and documents Smart Views.

Back in June Yahoo Mail for Android introduced Smart Views, a new feature that gave users easy access to Smart Views and their recent searches right beneath the Search bar. The app made it easier to filter the searches by category without having to manually navigate to the default folder category: People, Travel, Shopping, Social, Finance. Today’s update adds more features to Smart Views.

Users will now be able to see every photos and documents they sent as attachment right in Smart Views. This applies to all attachments sent and received within the app. A nice addition which will avoid having to hunt down the email with a particular attachment. The change log does say anything about the number of attachments that will be listed in Smart Views and for how long they will remain there. But this feature is very helpful. There’s a similar feature in Outlook 2016 on the PC and I use it quite often.

This update also makes Yahoo Mail compatible with Android Oreo 8.0. Here again, Yahoo does not say to what extent, but I assume users will see features like group notifications, for example.

If you’re a Yahoo Mail user, make sure you get the update in Google Play.
