Are we talking about the same Outlook here? And I mean that sincerely. I just joined a new company and now have to use MS software for the first time since Windows 7. Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, you name it, are all a clunky mess (at least on

I like this. To add: It serves as a strict lower bound, since it doesn’t account for the hidden cost of context switching etc.
