Here is what the new Outlook.com Premium entails
Outlook.com Premium is currently available as a pilot project by Microsoft; means, only invited users get a chance to test the service before it will be rolled out to everyone.
Microsoft revealed little about the service, only that it would reintroduce custom domains on Outlook.com.
Users invited to the test pilot of Outlook.com Premium find information about what the new service offers on this page while everyone else may add their account to a waiting list.
Microsoft has not yet revealed when it will make the service available to the public.
Outlook.com Premium
Outlook.com Premium offers the following advantages over a regular (read free) Outlook account:
- Premium users can add up to five personalized email addresses to Outlook that they can use. These custom domain email addresses sync with the Outlook.com mailbox automatically after setup.
- You may share calendars, contacts and documents between all people who have email addresses on your domain.
- An ad-free inbox (no banner ads, no distractions).
One thing that is quite interesting in this regard is that Office 365 subscribers will get Outlook.com Premium free of charge as part of their subscription.
It is unclear right now what Microsoft plans to do with the current Outlook ad-free subscription offer. Available for $19.95 per year, it could be upgraded to Outlook.com Premium instead.
It seems unlikely that the company will keep the ad-free plan up when it introduces the premium plan, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Outlook.com users who are subscribed to the ad-free plan may consider subscribing to Office 365 directly instead as they'd pay $50 for a one-year subscription if they subtract the price of Outlook ad-free from the subscription plan.
If you consider that you can grab Office 365 subscriptions cheaper at third-party retailers, it was offered previously for as low a price as $29.99 per year, it may be worth the upgrade especially since you gain other advantages such as 1TB of OneDrive storage with the subscription as well.

You said that Outlook isn’t your main email client, so which is your main one?
I think its thunderbird
It is Mozilla Thunderbird.
Awesome! This actually solved my problem… what a stupid bug.
If this is the same bug that I’ve encountered, there may be another fix: (1) hover over open Outlook item in Taskbar, cursor up to hover over Outlook window item, and right-click; (2) this should give you Restore / Move / Size / Minimize / Maximize — choose Move or Size; (3) use your cursor keys, going arbitrarily N/S/E/W, to try to move or size the Outlook window back into view. Basically, the app behaves as though it were open in a 0x0 window, or at a location that’s offscreen, and this will frequently work to resize and/or move the window. Don’t forget to close while resized/moved, so that Outlook remembers the size/position for next time.
THANK YOU Claude!!! I could get the main window to launch but could not get any other message window to show on the desktop. You are my hero!!!!
Solved my issue! 6 years later and this is still problem…
Fantastic. Thank you. Size did the trick.
This solved my Outlook problem, too. Thank you. :)

This problem was faced by only one user logging to TS 2008 r2 using outlook 2010.The issue was resolved.

Great tip. Thank you!!!! If it helps, I had to use the Control Key and the arrow keys at the same time to bring my window back into view. Worked like a charm.
