Outlook

Connect a Microsoft account so Italic can handle your Outlook mail and calendar.

One Microsoft sign-in covers Outlook and Outlook Calendar, for work, school and Outlook.com accounts. Italic works with Outlook the same way it works with Gmail and Google Calendar, so you don't need a Google account.

Connect a Microsoft account

Open Outlook or Outlook Calendar

In Connectors on the web or the Mac, choose Outlook or Outlook Calendar. On the iPhone, open Profile → Connectors, then Outlook or Outlook Calendar.

Sign in with Microsoft

Choose Connect Microsoft account, sign in and accept every permission on Microsoft's screen.

The account appears under Microsoft accounts on both pages. Choose Connect another Microsoft account to add more.

Italic works with mail in Microsoft 365 and Outlook.com. It can't reach mail kept elsewhere, such as a work address whose mail is in Gmail, or an organization's own Exchange server.

Some organizations only let an admin approve apps. If Italic says "Your organization needs an admin to approve Italic", ask your IT admin to approve Italic, then connect again.

Outlook mail

Italic can search and read your email, send email from the account you choose, and look up someone's address by name in your contacts and the people you email. It can move an email to Deleted Items, always as a draft you approve. It can't delete email for good, or change or delete your contacts.

Try "What's in my Outlook inbox?" or "Read the newest one." If Outlook is your only email account, Italic sends from it without asking which.

Outlook Calendar

Italic can see your events and add events to the calendar you choose. It can't change or delete events. "What's on my calendar tomorrow?" lists your Outlook events together with any Google Calendar events.

Permissions and workflows

Outlook and Gmail share one email permission, and Outlook Calendar and Google Calendar share one calendar permission. Changing it on one page changes it on both, and each account can still have its own setting. See Connectors.

Workflows' Send email and Create calendar event actions can use your Outlook accounts too.

Remove an account

Choose Remove beside the account. Italic stops using it for Outlook and Outlook Calendar and deletes its access. Microsoft keeps listing Italic among your account's apps until you remove it there.
