One must consider all who use outlook for business, there is no ads and I believe the say even no tracking. 🤷🏻‍♀️ so yea, I use outlook as well, but not because I want and not with ducking ads.

Just to clarify: there’s Outlook (M365) which is just the old Outlook, both as an app and webapp. Then there’s New Outlook, which looks like old Outlook but is a different, incomplete and hot garbage replacement for Windows Mail, Calender etc. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/new-outlook-vs-outlook-in-microsoft-365/e367b524-b637-49ac-8405-3d801af343c1

Well the "old" outlook included in M365 has now the option to „try new outlook“ which I activated. It looks like the Outlook in the screenshot (and like the web version of outlook) How many versions of outlook are there now?! 🤣

It actually is the web version, iirc

Ahhh I forgot about that other New Outlook, which is still mostly old M365 Outlook with just lots of new bugs because the interface has changed and some functionality removed, it is sorta the same binary executable… so I think the list is:

  • Windows Mail
  • Windows Calendar
  • Windows Contacts
  • New Outlook (replacing the above)
  • Old Outlook
  • Old New Outlook (being modified Old Outlook)
  • Consumer Webmail Outlook (being counterpart to New Outlook)
  • Business Webmail Outlook (being counterpart to Old Outlook)
  • … did I miss anything? Will there be a Business Mail New Outlook Webapp?
