Microsoft rolls out dark mode on Windows 10 Mail app

Every app is going dark. And by that we mean apps are slowly getting Dark Mode option. The latest one to get the feature is the Windows 10 Mail app. It’s getting a full dark mode this time. Microsoft rolled out a version of this for the app but it still showed a white background in the email portion of the app. This time there will be a toggle switch between the two background choices, so if certain parts of emails get obscured by the background, you can switch it up. This version closely matches the toggle and full dark mode available on Microsoft’s Outlook.com service.

Microsoft Windows 10 Mail and Calendar will get Gmail support

When it comes to the more advanced features on Windows 10 Mail and Calendar, Microsoft is bringing Google users into its fold with its new update. The tech company is rolling out support first to Windows Insiders first. It won’t be coming in one fell swoop, too. If you’re excited to get support, you might or might not get it immediately.

The update will bring some important features to Google users, though. These include Focused Inbox, which automatically detects important emails from your inbox and shows you these first. Aside from that, users will also get travel reservation reminders and package tracking in the Calendar app. These features were previously limited to Outlook.com and Office 365 accounts. To get these features, though, you will need to sync your email, contacts, and calendars to Microsoft’s servers—in case you were concerned about this. But any changes you make to your Gmail account on Windows 10 and Calendar will sync with your Google account. So, if you’re looking for a viable desktop email client, Microsoft is making a case for that.
