The only thing worse is New Outlook. They took away all of the power features and a good deal of the customization, and so you are left with something that feels like it was designed for a mobile app while you try to manage thousands of emails.
It's literally their web app put in a Chrome window.
It's outrageous. The Mac version of Outlook is way better, and it's native!!
Big-time disagree. Been using Windows and Mac versions of Office for over two decades. The Windows version is far superior in pretty much every metric I can think of.
Not the first time either. Office2004 Mac was ~~peak~~ the last time I remember not hating using any Office app.
For now. That's also being killed in favor of the web app.
its clear that eventually all the office apps will be web apps in either your browser or their own individual chromium instances. At least it means Linux users will finally get Microsoft office 🙃
And they absolutely fucked years and years of security training by fucking with url previews and truncating the front of the url.
What the actual fuck were they thinking?
Hadn't realized that change was in there. What a mess.
I probably wouldn't have either of my CISO didn't have to deal with it (and bitched at me to try to find a fix) because new outlook is just the shit mail app with a fresh coat of paint.
They'll have to take old outlook out of my cold dead hands.
I made the mistake of trying to mark 900 unread emails as read
do not do that if you're in a hurry
Recently a LOT of my emails with hotmail have been getting blocked at the server level, they arent even reaching my junk mail, which makes troubleshooting why I'm not getting emails a nightmare, ESPECIALLY in this day and age if 2fA
