I know it's hip to bash all things Microsoft, but Outlook is my life at work. It's absolutely fine if you're not predisposed to hating things.
Yeah I don't mind Outlook, I also use it for work and it does the job just fine.
And it has folders. I still don't like Gmail's "labels"
Outlook is fine, but you can tell there is no real competition and they just haven't really bothered putting any effort into it for years.
Yup. So is edge and teams with 365.
But most of these people haven't got a clue what they're talking about. The other has never worked in an office environment.
Even fewer yet, had the displeasure of working with g suite.
It's better than the native Mail app by Apple.
I do hate the new web based experience though. The executable client is very good.
I also work almost exclusively in outlook (and ERP programs) but honestly Outlook is just bad at so many things, especially when working with the volume of emails we do. So many crashes, so many QOL functions that just don't exist, so many minor issues that a 2 trillion dollar company should be able to fix.
I've got no problem with it, especially after I created some macros to tag and sort my emails.
Not Oracle Cloud ERP/EPM though. Those are the worst programs I have to use on a daily basis. For whatever godforsaken reason, the Smart View extensions for the Office apps are all connected to each other so if you're running some SV function in Excel, Outlook will freeze up.
No worries, you can just disable the plugins in the other apps, right? Wrong. The plugins automatically re-enable each other.
I've had connection issues and app instability a bit often, especially with the iOS version. Part of it might be our email server but I'm finding issues I never have with Google or even Yahoo clients. It's not awful, but there are better and cheaper options at enterprise level.
