Why office outlook 365 and outlook mail sucks terribly and worst emails in the whole wide world?
It was so painful to say the truth but 365 emails sucks awfully. I will list down everything below. It is too slow and buttons are most of the time unresponsive. Emails are lost when viewing in...
If you break down your issues and explain the actual problems in a more formal way, I’m sure you can get help! “Sucks” is not very helpful for us to figure out your problems with Outlook!

The Microsoft Mobile IOS App is extremely limited in function. Microsoft recommended to our IT team to lock down "Active Sync" for security reasons and now we're stuck with this crappy application. At least with Active Sync you can use mobile application like "mobile Day to automatically dial conference call numbers when traveling. Most of my colleagues didn't even bother to load the application because its so terrible.
I think its wrong for Microsoft to force users to accept the terms and conditions to arbitrate. Microsoft has some great products but this is a terrible solution.
Most of my issues are related to using Outlook on Apple products. I'm not going to move to MS Windows. I prefer the Apple echo system and need email and calendar to work seamlessly with my devices. Below a re just a few issues to point out.
Active Sync turned off by IT:
Calendar Issues:
- Mobile apps like "Mobile Day" no longer work is the mail and calendar are not native to IOS.
- No interface to LogmeIn "Open Voice" from iMac or IOS
- No button to click automatic conference numbers similar to Lotus Notes or IBM Cloud.
- No voice command for those who travel and need to ask Siri to join our next call handsfree. Travelers need safe ways to join calls. Its not possible to pull over every time, especially if a call drops.
- No automatic formatting of conference number + pass code when the user initiating the conference call forgets to format Tel:9-999-999-9999,,,,,9999999#
Mail:
- No way to disengage mail threads and send one portion of the thread
- No voice response reply function
- MS Outlook App battery drain
I wish I hadn't reinstalled Win10. Then I would have the Outlook that works.
I have three problems with Outlook, so far.
1. Can't keep my folders always displayed. I click o more and there is no pin to keep them displayed.
2. Can't move or copy emails to a document folder.
3. Where is my address book? I found their email addresses under people but what good does that do?
There is an old saying...If it's not broken, don't fix it. They fixed it and broke it.
I am going to use and open source email program.
I don't expect Microsoft to fix outlook. As long as people pay for 365 they are happy.
