Price and access
Pricing and purchase options
Prices and availability can vary by region and version. The price shown by the store or in-app purchase screen is the price that applies to your purchase.
Check the official store ↗Compatibility and privacy
Google Chrome on a computer. This is an independent extension, not an official Microsoft mail application.
Before you rely on the result
The panel depends on a working Outlook session and access to the mail website. It does not recover passwords or bypass Microsoft sign-in requirements. If messages stop updating, check the signed-in account and reload Outlook first.
