Outlook (Hotmail) for Android gets updated

[ultimate_ed]

Just got a notice that my Outlook app got updated. This one looks like it is finally a complete overhaul that ditches then Android 2.2 design scheme.

Looks like they've finally added a universal search! I don't know why they every thought I'd only want to search for contacts.

Actually looks like something that belongs on a Jellybean phone now.

Have you switched to the new Outlook interface for your Hotmail account? If not, then go to Outlook.com, login with your Hotmail account, and then give the app a try.

@kashk5: That is what dag75 is saying. The Hotmail app was rendered inactive since yesterday forcing all users to migrate to Outlook.com and now that app won't authenticate the users. I have the same issues. Any suggestions how to fix this?

Mine quit working as of yesterday, which is odd because my hotmail got switched to outlook almost a week ago exactly. I'm looking for other options. I tried logging in just on the phone browser but things aren't showing up right in that either. I rely on this for my e-mail while not at home and am actively looking for a solution to this current dilemma myself. I also am despising outlook...whoever's idea it was to use white lettering should be fired. If you happen to find a solution please let me know as well!
