Message ID: MC946791 (Updated)
Updated May 7, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Coming soon for Microsoft Outlook for iOS and Android: Minimize draft emails and quickly access them again from the message list or calendar view.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 470304.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High): We will begin rolling out early January 2025 and expect to complete by late May 2025 (previously late April).
[How this will affect your organization:]
Outlook will help you compose emails more quickly and efficiently by allowing you to minimize your draft emails and quickly access them again from the message list or calendar view. This means that while composing an email you can easily get information you need from your calendar or other emails and easily get back into the draft you are working on without ever having to go to the Draft folder.
To start, select the minimize icon in the upper right corner:
This change will be on by default.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
This change will happen automatically by the specified date. No admin action is required. Please notify your users about this change and update relevant documentation.
