Microsoft's email and calendar app, preinstalled in the Microsoft folder on many Galaxy phones. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.

What it does

Microsoft Outlook handles Outlook.com, Microsoft 365, Exchange and Gmail accounts with mail, calendar and contacts in one app. Samsung has preinstalled it on Galaxy phones since the Galaxy Note10-era partnership with Microsoft, and recent reports list it on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. It is published on the Play Store and syncs mail in the background once an account is added.

Also shown as Microsoft Outlook.

If you disable it

Nothing beyond the app itself, unless it is the mail app you use.

How to disable it

Settings offers Disable for this package on most phones. Open Settings > Apps > Outlook > Disable.

Disable it (reversible)

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.microsoft.office.outlook

Turn it back on

adb shell pm enable com.microsoft.office.outlook

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

Uninstall for the main user

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.office.outlook

Restore after an uninstall

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.microsoft.office.outlook

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.

Data and battery

Syncs mail, calendar and contacts with your mail provider through Microsoft's service.
