I have to use Outlook with my employer and I am sorry to say that its UI went from fairly good to bad to annoying over the last decade or so. Outlook serves in many ways a good example of bad UI design but not as an reasonable mail client.
Likewise I used Thunderbird privately, and still use as my POP3 based mail archive, I find the UI not as bad as outlook, but still not really practical my everyday needs.
So I ended up with using Vivaldi in spite of not being a believer of integrating mail an browsing in one program.

- menotyou 3y agoLooks like they want to upgrade their user experience from "annoying" to "hostile"
- Propelloni 3y agoFull ACK. I can't express how much Outlook annoys me today. The atrocity Outlook has become over the decades can only be a sinister ploy by MS to destroy all office productivity. I would be happy with a concise, tight UI and a rather dumb PIM -- you know, like 2002 (and don't get me started on Excel...) So I switched back to Thunderbird after a decade or so with the nice Owl-plugin to access my office Exchange. So if you need to connect to MS Exchange but don't want Outlook, try the plugin. It's only 10 bucks a year.
