Voltage808s ( @Voltage808s@kerala.party ) 62•8 months agoDecided to give outlook a try cause of good integration on Windows. Uninstalled it the second I saw an ad on my inbox. it even shows up as regular mail and you wouldn’t know it is an ad unless you look closely at the small

kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemm.ee ) English3•8 months agoHuh, I used to use Outlook in a previous company, it had the old look and that, if I was still using it I’d never thought we would get ads built in there 🫠

We are REQUIRED to use outlook at my job, along with all the MS bullshit. I’ve changed my Thunderbird interface to make it look exactly like outlook, synced my calendars, and kept using it for the past year or so. They have no clue. I hate Microsoft with passion, I will spent hours of my free time to find ways to be out of their ecosystem if I need to, and I usually manage to do so.
sarmale ( @sarmale@lemmy.zip ) 9•8 months agoCant they see the email domain? Or thunderbird accesses outlook?
Kühe sind toll ( @cows_are_underrated@feddit.de ) 16•8 months agoAFAIK thunderbird can access outlook.
- Yerbouti ( @Yerbouti@lemmy.ml ) 3•8 months ago
I honestly don’t know much about how that works. I’ve just managed to sync outlook emails to Thunderbird with the Exchange protocol or something. I get taken to my organisation page once every two weeks or so, for the 2FA, and everything works just fine. I’ll just play dumb if IT ever ask me question but so far so good.

I'm Hiding 🇦🇺 ( @i_am_hiding@aussie.zone ) 29•8 months agoCannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The operation has failed.
As the de-facto IT admin in a small business, this message haunts my dreams and I hate that I know it by heart. Time to make a new mail profile and configure all the accounts again. Its not like it’s the seventh time on this computer. It’s not like I’ve reinstalled Outlook three times already as per Microsoft’s “accepted solution”.
There’s a reason I don’t use Microsoft software on my hardware.

One time, when I had to use outlook, someone called me asking why I wasn’t replying to emails since like 3 days. Turned out Outlook had decided I could receive emails, but when I was replying, the email would put in a special folder “to be sent” or something, because the MS outgoing server was not working. I looked like a fucking imbecile when I figured it out and tried to explain what happened.
LinkOpensChest.wav ( @LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one ) 2•8 months agoMy current employer doesn’t use Outlook, but I’ve worked for several in the past that do, and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all of those messages at some point.
Track_Shovel ( @Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net ) English2•8 months agoWhat do they use? Is there a viable alternative?
LinkOpensChest.wav ( @LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one ) 3•8 months agoMy current employer is fully into Google’s ecosystem, so we don’t use a dedicated email client.
cduke23 ( @cduke23@beehaw.org ) English1•8 months agoI just use Outlook as a PWA as part of the M365 system. Works great imo. The desktop client can be a bit of a resource hog. I installed the PWA as an app and haven’t looked back.
Matthew ( @MrShelbs@lemmy.ca ) 25•8 months agoBack when I was on windows, I didn’t even bother with clients anymore. The new outlook has ads in it and barely works.
I use Thunderbird now since they updated their interface and it’s very pretty and fast. Couldn’t recommend it enough.
LinkOpensChest.wav ( @LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one ) 4•8 months agoYeah, I never thought I’d use a dedicated email client anywhere but work, but Thunderbird is really good.
I also use K-9 on mobile, which I like even more, but marking messages as spam never seems to stick. I still keep getting absolute trash from Google, even though I unsubscribed to updates a long time ago.
WashedOver ( @WashedOver@lemmy.ca ) 3•8 months agoI was a K-9 user for a time there. I sprung for the Nine client’s 1 time buy for my work email so I could control with a schedule notifications and mail retrieval.
I now use it for my Gmail client so I can add inline photos to my messages on Android.

WagnasT ( @WagnasT@iusearchlinux.fyi ) English5•8 months agoowa is so much better than outlook for me, at least for my work email. There’s actual dark mode, the servers seem to do all the heavy lifting so it never seems slow, the attachment preview is better and i can download a message as .eml instead of proprietary .msg format. Probably once a day I have to hit F5 because it starts acting weird. You can also make it a PWA. Seriously if you have to use corporate email give OWA a shot.

Never thought the day would come when an EMAIL CLIENT’s performance benefited from cloud processing. How bloated is this shit?
BCsven ( @BCsven@lemmy.ca ) 2•8 months agoWe have workstation machines at work, Outlook is a dog app and OS is not great either, and search is absolutely garbage. So now I boot to linux and use the web version and it is peppy. So processing on a server is better for this junk they release.
