As said earlier, Microsoft outlook refers to an email client that you can use to receive and send electronic messages over across a network that uses standard email protocols. This is more than just an application for email management; it is more of a software program.

It is also known to be part of the Microsoft Office suite of program and software, which helps you in managing your contacts, tasks, emails, address book, and calendar, all in just one place.

Outlook and exchange are two types of Microsoft services that are related to emailing. The outlook is a type of email, but it serves many more functions than just managing emails. In this software, the user is able to compile a list of email and phone contacts, complete tasks, build a calendar, browser the web, take notes, and write in a personal journal.

Exchange is known for being an email server, as well as being a server that houses personal information. At the same time, there are differences between how the two function, both work together for the purpose of emailing and exchanging messages.

Microsoft Outlook is more than just an email management function. It falls under the umbrella of the Microsoft software and program applications. This function permits you to oversee and organize your address book, tasks, calendars, contacts, and emails. It also boasts a journal, note-taking, and web browsing.

The Microsoft Exchange runs on a Windows server operating system and is an email server and a personal information management server. It was introduced by Microsoft to improve the way the user sends and receives emails. It is also known as Windows messaging. Both applications work in tandem with an exchange on the server-side and outlook on the client-side.
