Microsoft updates windows 10 mail, calendar apps

Microsoft is rolling out an update for Mail and Calendar apps for all Windows 10 users bringing 'architectural improvements' and many new features. Starting with the Mail app, Microsoft has introduced Focused Inbox that essentially bisects your incoming mail into two folders - Focused and Others. 

The Focused section will house all the important mails, while the Others section will house all the not-so-important mails like newsletters, brand discount announcements etc. This is similar to Gmail's methods of segregation into Primary, Social, and Promotions sections in its mail service. 

 Once you include that person's name with the @ prefix, that user will automatically be added as one of the recipients of the mail. Coming to the Calendar app for Windows 10, Microsoft's latest update brings colour coding of events to help users form categories, and essentially scan the calendar to better understand. 

Several other improvements have also been introduced including some improvements to the locations feature for calendar entries and an added option to use Skype for conference calls and online meetings.
