Ad-Free Inbox
If you hate ads, you’re in good company – and you’re in luck. As of right now, the outlook.cominterface is now completely free of ads for those who are subscribed to Office 365. And when we say completely ad-free, we mean it. You won’t have to deal with banner ads or even advertisements in the message list (native ads). Not only does this mean fewer distractions and annoyances, but it also means faster load times.
Superior Email Protection
Email is one of the primary ways in which cybercriminals try to trick people and businesses into giving away protected information or downloading viruses or ransomware. Outlook.com already deployed one of the most robust spam and virus filtration systems, but now Office 365 users can enjoy even more advanced protection. Additional security is offered as Outlook now makes use of sophisticated techniques for detecting brand new types of malware, and as email links are checked in real-time in order to predict whether or not the link is safe to follow.
Increased Mailbox Storage
In the world of business, bigger inboxes are always better! You and your team have tons of important emails and documentation to hold onto, and you can’t afford to run out of space. The new Office 365 premium infrastructure provides 50 GB of email storage for outlook.com users.

If you’re already an Office 365 user, you’re probably eager to start enjoying the new and improved perks for outlook.com. Fortunately, it’s incredibly easy. How easy? Well, for starters, the premium outlook.com benefits are automatically activated based on the email that was utilized to sign up for your company’s 365 subscription.

If you’re a smaller business using an Office 365 home subscription and share your benefits with a few other users, you will be able to share the premium features with others as well.
The premium benefits have already started being rolled out to Office 365 subscribers throughout the world. The entire process of updating all global accounts will take approximately one month, so you can expect to be enjoying the latest perks before you know it.
