According to the Update Release Notes: It allows you to Flag important messages, allows you to filter to see only unread emails first. Also creating and deleting folders directly in the app is provides an easier way to organize your messages. While not huge, these incremental updates are very much welcomed. Any enhancement to the current state of the Windows Mail app is a good thing!

The Calendar app gets a better looking UI that makes it easier to read. A new “Work Week” view has been added, and it allows the use of scheduling assistant for business and corporate accounts that use Microsoft Exchange. So if you use Outlook to schedule meetings, you’ll be able to see the same data in the Calendar app.

The People App now allows easier navigation to quickly move between your profile, and what friends are posting from the What’s New tab.
