Starting in January 2016, Microsoft plans to make two new features available to users of Outlook on the Web and Outlook.com.
Suggested contacts -- designed to help users find correct contacts more quickly -- and an "events from email" feature that will add airline flights automatically to users' calendars are both on their way, Microsoft officials announced on December 18.
Events from email will start rolling out in early January 2016 to Office 365 First Release customers and those who have been migrated to the new Outlook.com preview. Microsoft officials said they expect this feature to roll out more broadly in March 2016.
