I hate the new outlook more than the old outlook. The insider beta version of the desktop version sometimes doesn’t render properly and search is painful to use, granted the new version is missing million features from the desktop version so I use both.
I use the web version when I need only my “online” inbox, to check email and answer quickly, like a first parse including flagging, categorizing, and replying quickly. Because hotkey shortcut combos are different or non-existent and access to local mailbox PST files is not available I use the desktop version for the archiving, filing, and eventual researching and answering with attachments, etc.
I make extensive use of categories and the search folders feature of the desktop version and I made my workflow into just two archive folders INBOX and SENT where every single message that was saved is properly categorized.
The new outlook cannot access my archive and it’s also horrible at search, like it’s desktop brethren.
Finally, I use Outlook because it is m365 and mandated by IT.
For personal email I use Gmail and mailspring.
