While moving its Outlook.com email service over to Office 365, Microsoft is set to bring in several new features along with a new user interface (UI).

According to The Verge, 13 new themes will be added to the email service along with new features aimed at improving overall email experience like, a function called, Clutter, to sort messages that users ignore into a separate folder, a new search interface that will let users search people they email regularly while searching for content and a Refiners feature to let users filter search results based on sender, folder, date, and attachments.

Other improvements include a link preview for webpage links, or video links from YouTube.
