Microsoft is rolling out a new version of its Outlook app for iPhone and iPad that brings it to version 4.36. The update includes a new “Ignore Conversation” feature that will likely prove to be very useful for many users.

With a growing number of business meetings these days taking place via Skype, Microsoft has made it easier than ever to schedule and join a Skype call in the Outlook iOS app. Version 2.1.3 of the iOS Outlook app adds Skype integration.
Make any meeting a Skype call simply by flicking a switch, then access the call when you need to with just a tap. Now when you say “I’m joining the call now”, you’ll actually mean it. To give it a try, simply turn on the “Skype Meeting” switch when creating or editing an event.

Microsoft’s Outlook for iOS app already included an Apple Watch companion app, but it didn’t do much, merely showing you a tiny snippet of incoming mails. The company has now launched a full app that displays more of each message, allows you to tap for Quick Replies or dictate a full reply using Siri.
So that you don’t get overwhelmed with mail alerts, the app supports custom notifications, allowing you to choose which ones alert you.
The app is installed by updating to the latest version of the iOS app, a free download from iTunes. Other Microsoft Apple Watch apps include OneNote and Powerpoint.

While the webpage describing the app is unprotected, the actual download link requires a login…
