Mail for Outlook is an unofficial, third-party email application that synchronises to multiple Microsoft email accounts. Unendorsed by Microsoft, it's one solution for accessing any Windows email clients that you use without the need to log in via a browser.

Unofficial Email Synchronisation

Outlook and Hotmail are both email clients belonging to Microsoft, and as such the official applications for Outlook email belong to the Windows platform. As a result, accessing your Outlook and Hotmail accounts on a Mac requires a browser-based login. However, this Mail for Outlook application is a third-party app that lets you access your MS email accounts on a Mac. You can download the app and synchronise multiple accounts. Emails can be read, deleted and archived as normal, and accounts can easily be added and removed.

In Summary

Though this third-party application lacks some of the finesse of the official app, you don't have the choice to use Microsoft's application when you're on a Mac. So for non-browser email access that's quick and convenient, Mail for Outlook can be pretty useful. Just don't expect it to look the same as the Microsoft applications you may be used to.
