Imagine your email folders as a filing cabinet where you keep all your important documents organized. Now, think about having multiple filing cabinets in different locations, like one at home, one at the office, and one in your car. In the past, you might have organized these cabinets differently depending on where they were, which could make it confusing when you tried to find something quickly.
With the new change in Outlook, it's like having a magical helper who ensures that all your filing cabinets are organized in exactly the same way, no matter where they are. This means that the order of your folders on your Outlook mobile app will now automatically match the order you have set up on your desktop or any other Outlook app you use. So, whether you're checking your emails on your phone, tablet, or computer, you'll always find your folders in the same order. This makes it easier and faster to locate your emails, just like knowing exactly where to find a document in any of your filing cabinets.
This change is available for both Android and iOS devices, ensuring a consistent experience across all your devices. It's a bit like having a universal remote that works with all your gadgets, simplifying your life by keeping everything in sync.
