If you are using multiple machines, your desktop client will be a huge headache to set up each. Business computers at work have outlook, but personally, I cannot use the client(s) for my 6+ separate computers. Browser email is the way to go.
- matthewmacleod 8y agoMmm I’m sure you accept that’s an extreme minority requirement. Anyway, what’s painful about setting up multiple clients?
- system2 8y agoGigabytes of data per account. Sync issues. If you are asking, you probably never suffered from these.
- begriffs 8y ago> a huge headache to set up OK, but "huge headache" is somewhat exaggerated. For many clients, gmail connection settings are a preset option, where you enter a username and application password. It's a one-time configuration. > outlook My condolences. > my 6+ separate computers You are perhaps an outlier? But I can see how it's a hassle in your particular case.
- system2 8y agoOutlook type of software download all of the emails. Which means gigabytes per account. I use multiple google emails (gsuite), and this makes things harder.
- izacus 8y agoCopying a settings folder is a "huge headache"? It takes s lot less time than writing a complaint post on HN. Even if you have 6+ computers.
