Along with the release of theWindows 10 October Update 2018yesterday, Microsoft has also announced improvements forOutlook.com. Users of Microsoft’s free email service will soon be able to see a verified icon from businesses, in much the same way as Twitter and Facebook use one to verify legitimate businesses. This will likely help users to easily identify fake and fraudulent emails.
In addition, users will also be able to click the business’s profile card to access contact info and location, as well as track package deliveries. Users will also be able to check which newsletters they’re subscribed to and easily opt-out of ones they no longer wish to clutter their inboxes.
US Companies can participate inMicrosoft’s Business Profile beta, so customers will be able to see the verified icon. Businesses can add in their own profile details, photos, and contact info for Outlook.com users to see. Microsoft is starting with its email service for now, but the official page for the Business Profile beta says that verified businesses will be able to control their presence across other Microsoft services in the future.
Do you think a verified icon will be able to help you identify spam better? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.
Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
