- teekert 2y agoWas gonna say, I wonder if he still uses it now that it is that Outlook thing :) I’ve been helping people to Thunderbird. Most people are like: Mail>Thunderbird>New Outlook thingy. Good enough for me ;)
- SunlitCat 2y agoDon't get me wrong, Thunderbird is awesome for what it is (and the Mail thingy was kinda perfect as a lightweight mail client) but Thunderbird has some rough edges. Like it took me long until I figured out how to show message size, filter by date and then sort it by message size. Of course, the Mail thingy wasn't able to do something like that, but I remember waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back, that Communicator (that Mail program which came with Netscape / Mozilla) was way simpler to use than Thunderbird. But maybe my memories are hazy as this was like ~15 - ~20 years ago.
- TillE 2y agoI'm guessing that happened almost exactly a year ago, which is when I was astonished to find that they'd junked up their perfectly good Weather app with ads. Microsoft does plenty of cool things these days, but it's bizarre how they're pushing these little Windows monetization efforts like it's some garbage F2P mobile game.

- marcosdumay 2y agoI remember liking it when I found the app. But then I had to use the web interface to do anything with filters, so when I had to reinstall Windows I didn't bother configuring it again. And now everything is on Teams anyway.
