I agree that there are better ways to keep things documented. Any fix communicated over email might as well include (or even better only include) a link to the actual documentation wherever it actually belongs, but that's a terrible reason to abandon IMAP and force people to use Outlook. It's so terrible a reason it's hard to imagine that was their only one. I imagine most companies are more worried about leaks or compromised email accounts than about documentation ending up saved in email only.

IMAP isn't the opposite of Outlook. And using IMAP-based email client keeping data locally is a better choice than to use webmail and to rely on email storage services of mail provider.
- autoexec 4y agoYeah, even if outlook manages to stay online the vast majority of the time having a local backup is extremely useful. I use IMAP with Thunderbird which stores mail in MBOX format which I find very helpful for searching or pulling data from too. Having to depend on webmail would feel so limiting!
