Comparing Different Versions Of Outlook

Outlook Version and their Major Features

Outlook 2003

 Introduction of cached Exchange mode and smarter networking to
enable faster and more efficient synchronization between server folders and local replicas. Exchange 2010 requires Outlook 2003 SP2. Not supported by Exchange 2013.  


Outlook 2007 
Introduction of Autodiscover functionality to enable automatic configuration of user profiles. Movement away from public folders as the repository for shared data such as free/busy and Offline Address Book (OAB) to use web-based distribution instead. First implementation for managed mail and retention policies.



Outlook 2010 

The first 64-bit version of Outlook (also available for 32-bit platforms).
Supports features such as MailTips and message tracking from within
Outlook. Far more developed and feature-complete version of messaging record management (document retention) policies. Supports cross-organization calendar sharing to help customers deploy in mixed on-premise/hosted deployments. Supports conversation view of email threads (also works with earlier versions of Exchange) and the ability to
ignore threads in which you’re not interested in email. Outlook 2010 also supports personal archives located on Exchange 2010 servers and can open up to three Exchange mailboxes in addition to the primary mailbox.


Outlook 2013 


Revamped user interface, including touch mode for Windows tablets and touchscreen devices. Support for site mailboxes and modern public folders. Changes sync behavior in cached Exchange mode. Supports EAS connections to Outlook.com. Various user interface additions, including inline replies and the Weather Bar, a subwindow that displays weather in the calendar view.


Another change is that Outlook 2013 can open up to 9,999 Exchange mailboxes concurrently, not all of which have to belong to the same Exchange organization. This is a significant increase over the Outlook 2010 limit of 10 mailboxes! By default, Outlook imposes
a limit of four mailboxes. This is deliberately set to prevent Outlook from taking up huge amounts of system resources on a client PC, which would occur if someone attempted to open 10 or 20 mailboxes. However, you can increase the limit for concurrent open mailboxes up to the maximum by updating the value held in the registry at HKCU\Software \Microsoft\Exchange\MaxNumExchange.
