FIGURE 10-1 Display Outlook Web App by clicking Outlook or Inbox on the Office 365 Home page.

One of the great things about Outlook Web App in Office 365 is that your mail—and contacts—are always right there when you need them, available through any device that gives you access to the web. In Chapter 9, “Going Mobile with Office 365,” you learned how to review and send email on your phone; Outlook Web App gives you the online, web-based ability to read new mail, work with received mail, and organize all your communication preferences in just the way you want. The window is organized in three main areas. (See Figure 10-2.) In the left panel, you see the mail folders as well as the Outlook tools that take you to other views so that you can work with your Calendar or manage contacts or tasks. In the center is the Inbox column, where your new mail appears. The panel on the right is the reading pane, which shows you the contents of the selected message without you needing to open the message in the Web App.
