What is "Outlook" in 2025?
Outlook is Microsoft's email and calendar app. In 2025, there are three apps that Microsoft calls "Outlook". You can compare them here. CompanionLink supports all versions of Outlook.
Classic Outlook
The PC version of Outlook that you have been using for 25 years is now called "Classic Outlook". It runs on your computer and works without the internet. Nearly all Outlook users still prefer it for privacy and speed.
New Outlook
New Outlook is is cloud-based. Your data is not stored on your PC. This means it is slower and will not work if your internet is down. Most PCs now have New Outlook installed because Microsoft forces them to. Nearly all users prefer Outlook Classic apps because cloud-based solutions are unreliable.
Outlook for Windows
Outlook for Windows is the free app that replaces Windows Mail and Calendar. Microsoft shares your data with more than 801 advertisers. Many users worry about privacy with this version.
Which Outlook Should You Use?
We strongly recommend Outlook (classic) because it is fast and secure. If you have a Microsoft Office license, then you own a license to Outlook (classic). Use this guide to switch to Outlook Classic Now.
