Microsoft haslaunched a new lite version of the Outlook appon Android today, which has been designed from the ground up with fast performance and a smaller footprint in mind. The app is just 5MB, yet features many of the same excellent features that the full Outlook app on Android supports.

The Outlook Lite app only supports Microsoft email accounts, including Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live, MSN, Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Exchange Online accounts. It doesn’t support third-party email accounts such as Gmail, so you’ll have to use the full Outlook client for that functionality.

Outlook Lite also uses less battery, and works great on 2G and 3G networks. Overall, the new Outlook Lite app is designed for emerging markets as well as older devices with slower processors and low amounts of storage. The app is available in the following regions:

Microsoft says it will review and add additional markets in the future. For now,you can grab the app from the Google Play Storein any of the regions listed above!
