As someone considering switching to Linux for work, why not use OWA always? It's a full PWA, so you can access your data offline, and it's flowing through Excha

As someone considering switching to Linux for work, why not use OWA always? It's a full PWA, so you can access your data offline, and it's flowing through Exchange anyway.
- jmmv 3y agoOne reason is because OWA is really slow on not-great hardware...
- vanous 3y agoOne reason is good extension support, for example for fast keyboard navigation and mail moving in TB... https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/nostalgy_ng/ https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/nosta...
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoOWA is fine for quick emails, usually, but I like old fashioned stuff like being able to view my message headers. Also, I use Firefox instead of Chrome so I don't get the PWA benefits. It's gonna suck when Microsoft finally kills connectivity or login support for the Teams for Linux Electron app lol
- cglong 3y agoI know that was just one example, but I think you can view message headers in OWA by clicking the ellipsis on a message, then "View" > "View message details". Also, my mom preferred Safari but kept Chrome around for installing and opening PWAs. I understand if there's a philosophical reason this won't work for you though :)
- ParetoOptimal 3y agoI prefer all my email in emacs because it is a familiar extensible environment subject only to my changes and decisions. "I have power here" versus "you have no power here".
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoSomeday I should really look into emacs since it can be literally anything my workstation needs it to be lol vi VS emacs seems like comparing Notepad++ to BSD. They may have similar functions built in but can do very different jobs.
