In this article, we will take you through the process of setting up our powerful integration for Microsoft Outlook's calendar. This integration can also be used by anyone who has a Microsoft Hotmail account, since both email products are part of the Microsoft family. In fact, our Outlook Calendar app works with both Hotmail/Outlook as well as third party Exchange providers which support Outlook (and use it as their web interface) such as GoDaddy's Exchange support.
Our integration allows our customers to seamlessly access their calendar directly from Mailbird, without the need to move away from our app in order to log into their calendar via web-browser, but keep in mind that it is not available in the Free version of Mailbird. If you want to find out which integrations are included in each plan, you can take a look at our other article called What apps are available in each Mailbird plan.
