Bad take. The old native Outlook is actually great. The web version is fine. The new Electron monster is horrible and looks like a toy.

- sonicanatidae 3y agoI don't think it's a bad take at all. The very latest and greatest version of Outlook, has broken Search. Not in a subtle way, no, as in the "remove focus from the goddamn text box after you've typed a couple of characters" kind of broken. I've had to remove and re-add accounts to fix Outlook issues more than all other email client issues combined. This is especially prevalent with the mobile versions. Do you know how many times I've had to reset the view after Outlook, for no reason discernible, decided to change it, delete it or simply corrupt the file. I stopped counting after I had to start using scientific notation. We'll continue to disagree on the App versions of Outlook. The web version is ok.. I will agree with you on that point.
- danmur 3y agoI keep having that view change too, never been able to work out why. It's very annoying.
- whoisthemachine 3y agoAgreed. Outlook native gets extremely confused when the desktop resolution/scaling changes. It also uses as an old version of IE/Trident (?!) to render HTML e-mails, which is very painful to work with when trying to build rich e-mail notifications.
- rescbr 3y agoIIRC it's even worse. It's not Trident, but Word's HTML renderer.
- whoisthemachine 3y agoScary if true!
