Redmond-based technology company Microsoft has started rolling out Outlook.com service updates, including an archive option and new color themes.

These new features are currently available to a limited number of users, as Microsoft is now sending them to Outlook.com consumers from all over the world, but should be there in a couple of hours.

In addition to these options, Microsoft will also release new keyboard shortcuts that would allow users to quickly browse their inbox and manage the existing emails.

“Outlook.com has dozens of keyboard shortcuts and we're adding even more. And better yet, we don't need to list them all in this post because you can now find all available keyboard shortcuts by simply typing a question mark when you're in your inbox,” the company said a couple of weeks ago.
