Outlook 365 · Modern Workplaces

Where your business talks to the world — and organizes its day

Outlook is more than an inbox. It's your company's professional identity, its shared calendars and the starting point for meetings, groups and files across Microsoft 365. ECSG sets up Outlook so your team communicates professionally, schedules without the back-and-forth and works from shared mailboxes and groups instead of forwarded emails.

Professional Email

The right mailbox for every kind of conversation

Clients judge your business by its email. Beyond a professional address on your own domain, the right mailbox setup means messages reach the right people — and never depend on one person's inbox.

maria@yourcompany.com

Personal mailboxes

Every employee on your company domain, with aliases when someone needs a second address.

sales@yourcompany.com

Shared mailboxes

One inbox for a team — sales, support, billing — that several people read and answer. No license needed in most cases.

project@yourcompany.com

Microsoft 365 groups

A shared inbox and calendar for a project or team, connected to SharePoint and Teams.

roomB@yourcompany.com

Rooms & equipment

Conference rooms, vehicles or projectors with their own calendar — booked like inviting a person.

Why it matters: when a client writes to sales@ instead of one salesperson, the conversation stays with the company — even when people take vacations, change roles or leave.

Groups in Outlook

Create a group in Outlook — get a whole workspace

A Microsoft 365 group created from Outlook isn't just a mailing list. It automatically gives your team a shared inbox, a shared calendar and a SharePoint site for its files — and with one click, the same group becomes a team in Microsoft Teams.

Created in Outlook

"Operations Team"

operations@yourcompany.com — add a member once, and they get access to everything.

Distribution list

Just forwards email

Messages go to each member's inbox. New members don't see past conversations, and there are no shared files or calendar.

Good for: company-wide announcements
Microsoft 365 group

A complete workspace

Conversations, calendar and files are shared and kept. New members see the full history the moment they join.

Best for: teams and projects
Calendars & Scheduling

Stop sending "what time works for you?"

Outlook calendars are connected across your whole company — and with Teams — so scheduling takes seconds instead of email threads.

Scheduling Assistant

See when everyone is free

When you create a meeting, Outlook shows colleagues' and rooms' availability and suggests times that work.

Why it matters: a meeting booked in one try.
Teams Meetings

One toggle, online meeting ready

Any meeting can include a Teams link. Attendees join with one click, from any device.

Why it matters: no separate video tools or links to manage.
Shared Calendars

Team schedules at a glance

Department, project and vacation calendars shared with the right people.

Why it matters: everyone knows who's in, who's out.
Delegation

Assistants who manage calendars

Executive assistants can manage a leader's calendar and email with the right level of access.

Why it matters: leaders spend time on decisions, not scheduling.
Rooms & Resources

Book rooms like people

Conference rooms and equipment have their own calendars and accept bookings automatically when free.

Why it matters: no double-booked conference rooms.
Microsoft Bookings

Let clients book you

A booking page where clients choose an available time, synced with your Outlook calendar (included in many business plans).

Why it matters: appointments without the phone tag.
Collaboration in Outlook

Email that works with your files — not against them

The biggest change for most teams: email stops being the place where files get copied, renamed and lost.

Attach as link

One file, not ten copies

Attach documents from OneDrive or SharePoint as a link. Everyone opens the same file and sees the latest version.

Loop components

Live content in an email

A table or checklist inside an email updates for every recipient — and in Teams — as people edit it.

@mentions

Get someone's attention

Type @ and a name to flag the right person, in emails and in document comments that notify by email.

Presence

Your calendar sets your status

When you're in a meeting, Teams shows you as busy — automatically, based on your Outlook calendar.

Connected by design: Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive share the same groups, calendars and files. See a connected workday in Microsoft 365 →

Email Is the #1 Way In

Most attacks start in an inbox

  • Email filtering: phishing, impersonation and malware stopped by Proofpoint before they reach Outlook — Email Threat Protection.
  • Domain protection: SPF, DKIM and DMARC so nobody can send email pretending to be you.
  • Secure sign-in: multi-factor authentication on every mailbox.
  • Monitoring: suspicious inbox rules and sign-ins watched by our 24/7 SOC.

Questions Decision-Makers Ask

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a shared mailbox and a Microsoft 365 group?

A shared mailbox is a team inbox, like sales@ or support@, that several people answer. A Microsoft 365 group is a complete workspace: shared inbox and calendar plus a SharePoint site and, optionally, a team in Teams.

Can you move our email from Google or another provider?

Yes. We migrate mailboxes, calendars and contacts to Microsoft 365, plan the switch of your domain and keep your team working during the move.

Do shared mailboxes need a license?

In most cases, no. Shared mailboxes under Microsoft's size limits don't require a paid license — which is also why we convert departing employees' mailboxes into shared mailboxes.

Can our team use Outlook on their phones securely?

Yes. Outlook mobile uses the same sign-in and multi-factor authentication, and access policies can protect company email on personal devices.

Is the new Outlook different from the classic one?

Microsoft is moving users to the new Outlook for Windows. We help your team transition and make sure the features they rely on keep working.

Outlook Review

Is your email working for your team — or the other way around?

We'll review your mailboxes, groups, calendars and email security, then explain in plain language what we'd organize and protect first. No obligation.

Secure. Reliable. Human.
