Despite the overtaking of Gmail, the email provider offered by Outlook continues to gather several users, now loyal to the service. At the beginning of 2018, the service registered 400 million active users on the platform, numbers that however have suffered a slight decrease with the entry of numerous competitors during the last period. This, however, does not raise the fact that Outlook is still able to involve a lot of public and that, therefore, it is still useful to analyze what are the features that the provider proposed by Microsoft offers. Before entering the real guide, let’s start by saying that Microsoft Outlook is an email, planning and calendar program that is part of the suite of tools made available by Microsoft Office. It allows you to send emails both in a daily and corporate context, with the possibility of sending an image as an attachment to the email, which the recipient of the message can download and save. However, you can also make the image appear directly in the body of the message, thanks to a process that we will see in more detail.

  7. Select “Browse” to search for the image saved on the PC or cloud you want to insert;
