I’m using the new Outlook. It’s generally fine, although my biggest issue with it are infinite loading screens. This is a desktop e-mail client, it should not require an Internet connection to show e-mails, especially recently received e-mails.
- ndiddy 2y agoAFAIK this is because it's not really an email client. If your company uses an email server instead of hosted Office 365 email, setting up New Outlook with it will send your server's IMAP details and login information to Microsoft's cloud. Their cloud then acts as an IMAP/SMTP client, and every email you send/receive gets proxied through Microsoft's servers. I'm not sure why they decided to do things this way, but it means I'm never going to switch to New Outlook.

- Kwpolska 2y agoMy company is using hosted Office 365 e-mail. Their trick with server-side IMAP is well-known, and makes some sense for the Outlook mobile apps. But it does not excuse not having recent messages cached.
