New Mail app version available for insiders

Microsoft has just announced a new update for the Mail and Calendar app on Windows 10 preview builds, delivering a new set of features that are not available yet for users on the stable OS.

Specifically, Mail and Calendar now supports drag and drop in email messages, so you can easily attach files to your new mails. This is one of the most requested features in Windows 10, so it’s clearly a welcome update for everyone – note, however, that the public release will only take place at a later time.

At the same time, insiders are allowed to turn off the message preview text in the message list and get rid of junk email with a simple right click thanks to the new Move to Junk option. Additionally, the calendar now enables users running Windows 10 preview builds to “let others know they’ll be late directly from meeting notifications” and print week view.

Microsoft hasn’t yet provided any information as to when stable users could get the update, but it did say that the rollout should start sometime soon.

“These features are made available first to participants in the Windows Insider program. If you're not a member of the Windows Insider program, you'll see these features rolled out in the next few weeks,” Redmond explained.

As usual, the new updates are shipped to Windows 10 computers via the integrated store, and if the default configuration is still active, they might already be there.
