Microsoft introduced the sidebar feature to the Microsoft Edge browser this summer, allowing users to easily open many applications, including Office, without leaving the current page. In August this year, a stable version of Edge 104 was released with further enhancements to the sidebar, supporting Outlook, Office, games and more.
However, Outlook for the web does not display very well in the sidebar, as it only opens Outlook for the web in a full window in the sidebar, resulting in controls in the panel that needs to be swiped to be viewed, and it does not support multiple accounts. The following image shows how Outlook on the web currently appears on the Edge sidebar.
Now, Microsoft has polished the sidebar experience once again, with special optimizations for Outlook on the web that enhances content richness and readability. However, the new experience is currently limited to some Edge Canary users and does not support dark mode.
