Please raise any concern to me if any of the code or resource voilate your copyright or trademark.***\n\n## Feature\n* Receive your hotmail / outlook / office 365 online from the desktop app\n* Close to minimise\n* Dock tray support\n* System notification\n* Network connection detection\n* Customized setting\n    * Ads block as your control\n    * Switch between outlook and office 365\n\n## Download\nThe released application can be downloaded [here](https://github.com/eNkru/electron-outlook/releases).\n\n## Troubleshot\n`Some Linux distributions has the issue to display the reciptons in the To and CC fields.`\n\nThe workaround is set some invalid values in the Ads Blocker settings. The settings come with the default value, you need to input some random numbers to overwrite them.\n\n`Desktop Integration not updated/created when using AppImage`\n\nSince electron-builder 21 desktop integration is not a part of produced AppImage file anymore. Electron builder recommends [AppImageLauncher](https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher) to install AppImages and create Desktop Integration or to create the desktop files manually.\n\nIf you failed to run `npm install` with following errors\n\n\u003enpm ERR! ../src/keyboard-layout-manager.h:7:10: fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory\n\n\u003enpm ERR! ../src/keyboard-layout-manager-linux.cc:5:10: fatal error: X11/extensions/XKBrules.h: No such file or directory\n\nThat means your environment is missing some dev libs for compiling. Install those dev libs will fix the issue.\n\n`sudo apt install libx11-dev libxkbfile-dev` \u003c- For example, if you are on Ubuntu.\n\n## Build Pre-Request\n* [GIT](https://git-scm.com/)\n* [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/)\n\n## Build \u0026 Install\nClone the repository and run in development mode.\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/eNkru/freelook.git\ncd freelook\nnpm i\nnpm run start\n```\nBuild the application \n```\nnpm run dist:linux\n```\nThis will build a predefined AppImage \u0026 deb packages in the dist folder. AppImage can be run in most popular linux distributions with the support. Deb is only for debian \u0026 ubuntu distributions.\n\n## Release\n```\nnpm version (new release version)\ngit push origin master\ngit push origin --tags\nnpm publish\n```\n\n## License\nThis app helps some people like me who couldn't (or don't wish to) install an POP or SMPT mail client to manage their outlook \u0026 hotmail emails.
