With the announcement of the Microsoft Outlook.com, I created a new email address at outlook.com and have been using Outlook.com for last 1 week and the experience of using it is pretty good. The UI is simple, fast and more importantly easy to use.
You could import contacts from your Gmail, Facebook or Twitter account and infact do so many other things.
How about having shortcut keys to perform some regular tasks in Microsoft’s outlook.com?
