Key notes
Years ago, you would have pulled your hair off when you had to restart your Windows PC, just because you would havelost all your browsing tabs.
The browserslearnedto remember them and now, your sessions are safe. If you do the same withe-mailsinOutlook, we have great news.
Microsoft is updatingOutlookto reopenemailsafter a crash or a restart, just like a browser with its tabs.
Microsoft Outlook reopens items from the previous session
Some people open severale-mailsin separate windows just to remember which ones to reply to later. It’s a good thing unless your laptop runs out of battery or the system just crashes.
We added an option to quickly reopen items from a previousOutlooksession. WhetherOutlookcrashes or you close it, you’ll now be able to quickly relaunch items when you reopen the app.

Note:This feature is available only forinsiders, in the Beta Channel Version 2006 (Build 13001.20002)
How can I turn this feature OFF in Outlook?
Microsoft specifies that this feature will be turned on by default and you probably should leave it like that if you only useOutlookon your personal computer.
However, if you useOutlookon other computers just to check youremail, it would be a good idea to turn the feature OFF at least temporarily.
To do that, you will have to go to Options> General > Start up Options.
