Outlook.com Email Receiving Apps
Microsoft will launch applications on its Outlook.com email service. The company is expected to show some apps and add-ins for Outlook.com this week and some of the sessions at Build 2015 deal with the software. Apps and add-ins are currently only available for the Office 365 version of Outlook. Developers will soon be able to make an application that runs on Outlook for desktop, Office 365, and Outlook.com. A single store for these apps would be used across platforms. Since apps are limited right now, most of the ones that exist are for the enterprise, not regular users. The apps for Outlook move is part of a larger decision at Microsoft to turn Office into a platform.
