Outlook and Teams Unification
We all rely on email way too much. It would be nice to have an outlook button in the teams app below files. one unified app for all my office products :)

Agreed. Not sure why it hasn't been done already!

Having communications in two silos is a pain unification is needed.

Why have multiple apps? Having MS Teams be a "one stop shop" for all business communications would add phenomenal value. With calendar already integrated to a degree, adding Outlook as an additional tab under "Files" would be unreal.

Preferably include in Outlook as an app within MS Teams...

Yes yes yes! Also model menus similarly so you don't have to stop and think about whether you're in Outlook App or Microsoft Teams. It's easier if they use similar symbols, menu locations, etc.

Right now, they are rather redundant and I mostly open Outlook when someone tells me they sent me an email.

Currently I am able to add Outlook for web as a channel tab in the desktop version of teams. I would like Microsoft to provide a "Personal App for outlook that embeds outlook for web in teams. see attached.

This would be great, so we would be able to read email straight from Teams.

Agree 100%, We can do 80% of our daily work within Teams which is awesome for project collaboration. Staying within Teams and reading/posting email (including key word searches) would complete the last 20% of activity and having to bounce back and forth between Teams and Outlook is a little awkward.

I'd like Teams to be able to recognize Outlook templates! We have teams scattered across the globe all trying to use the same shared mailbox. They have templates to customize for most of their customer responses, but it appears that Teams doesn't know what an ".oft" is.

This would be great. I have also really enjoyed the feature you added from this discussion https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/16926118-forward-an-email-to-a-channel that allows an email to be forwarded into a teams chat. But there's a bug with it. I'm working on a mac but using outlook. When I click to open the email, it somewhat nonsensically will only open in Apple Mail and there's no setting I can find to change it doing that. Teams has no email-related preferences. Mail is set to Outlook and Outlook is set to Outlook so it makes no sens that it would keep trying to do this. Pic attached.
