Most of you are using Microsoft Outlook online as well as the Outlook desktop version for email communications, managing your calendar, and storing files on Onedrive.

Being a professional, you must also be using LinkedIn to keep yourself updated with the industry and your colleagues. In this article, I will explain how we can connect your outlook.com account with LinkedIn so that you will be able to get the LinkedIn information of the person who is sending you the email whenever you get an email.
