Microsoft Outlook is already a web app at its core: "The point here being that Mail and Calendar are native Windows applications, whereas the new Outlook for Windows is essentially a web app at its core, from what we can tell."
Native is dead as it seems, at least for he Microsoft Office Team.

- joiqj 3y agoSomeone correct me if wrong but "outlook for windows" is not the same as "office outlook". The first one seems like it was created to fill the hole of outlook express and the mail app that came out later. i.e. the free email application that windows ships with.
- dktnj 3y agoThere are actually four "outlook" implementations now. 1. Outlook desktop - old MFC / win32 crapfest 2. Windows Mail / Calendar - new WPF crapfest. 3. O365 online outlook / outlook.com - fat web app. 4. "New" Outlook - this is a fat Electron style app based on the web app. The latter is actually pretty good - been using it for a couple of months. This is apparently going to replace all the other ones on the desktop.

- basscomm 3y ago> The latter is actually pretty good - been using it for a couple of months You must be using a different New Outlook than me. I've been conscripted into trying it before the mass rollout to the rest of my company. It's so slow and missing so many features from the Old Outlook that it's only really usable for the most basic tasks.
