# Freelook
[](https://github.com/eNkru/freelook/actions/workflows/node.js.yml)
Freelook, an alternative Electron-based desktop app to help you manage Outlook and Office 365.
```
Please let me know if you can help me to design an icon for this app.
(The icon is currently shown on the right top conor of this README)
Many Thanks.
```
## Declamation
***This 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 & hotmail emails. Please raise any concern to me if any of the code or resource voilate your copyright or trademark.***
## Feature
* Receive your hotmail / outlook / office 365 online from the desktop app
* Close to minimise
* Dock tray support
* System notification
* Network connection detection
* Customized setting
* Ads block as your control
* Switch between outlook and office 365
## Download
The released application can be downloaded [here](https://github.com/eNkru/electron-outlook/releases).
## Troubleshot
`Some Linux distributions has the issue to display the reciptons in the To and CC fields.`
The 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.
`Desktop Integration not updated/created when using AppImage`
Since 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.
If you failed to run `npm install` with following errors
>npm ERR! ../src/keyboard-layout-manager.h:7:10: fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
>npm ERR! ../src/keyboard-layout-manager-linux.cc:5:10: fatal error: X11/extensions/XKBrules.h: No such file or directory
That means your environment is missing some dev libs for compiling. Install those dev libs will fix the issue.
`sudo apt install libx11-dev libxkbfile-dev` <- For example, if you are on Ubuntu.
## Build Pre-Request
* [GIT](https://git-scm.com/)
