Message Summary

Updated December 03, 2021: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

  • Timing: mid-November through the end of January (previously end of November)

How this will affect your organization:

Customers who listen to emails in Play My Emails on Outlook Mobile may, on occasion, experience a change to the order in which emails are read. Emails that may require the user to take action will be played first.
