Outlook - Slow, buggy, cluttered UI. It loses mail, especially with shared mailboxes. The search function is slow and fails to find some mails.
There seems to be no real alternative though. All I want is a fast, native email client that supports conversation view and has a good search function. For work, I also require the calendar function, but I don't think implementing that is the hardest part. I know IMAP (or MS Exchange protocol) is a mess, but talking to the server is not the part that is broken for me in Outlook and most other clients. It is search and responsiveness of the UI. But isn't (instant) search basically a solved problem?
- teetertater 5y agoHave you tried outlook.com? I migrated from the desktop app and enabled a bunch of ublock filters to get rid of the ad pane, works pretty well for me. Haven't used shared mailboxes though so can't speak to that.
- thrower123 5y agoThe biggest problem with the web version of Outlook is that it doesn't have a global Unread Messages filter like the desktop version does. I have a plethora of folders and rules set up for each customer, and it is impossible to keep up with incoming items without that Unread filter.
