Outlook (new)(1)_final(Copy)
The new Outlook looks like a standalone app version of OWA. They’re probably doing that to unify code bases but it’s seriously lacking some features that Outlook had.
- Can’t open PST files
- Sort was borked
- Couldn’t set caching options for Exchange
And that’s just a few I remember. Though it’s been a good year since I’ve played with it last.
It’s still so weird to me that Microsoft - who has their own, now modern, native UI framework for Windows - barely uses it in any of their own applications, instead more and more relying on Electron Edge WebView2, barely following their own design language. Do they even want people to use Windows?
This is the same Microsoft that has consistently delivered a better Office suite (including Outlook) on macOS than Windows for almost 20 years now. It’s like they are afraid of their own technology or something.
The year is 2056. There are 4^2048 characters required to display all of the “New”s for the latest version of Outlook. You’ve just bricked your fourth PC by trying to open an .ics
Outlook (the one that uploads your email login password to microsoft, and which markets this as a feature)
