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...
I've spent over an hour following MS instructions to put birthdays on Outlook calendar. None of the many instructions were able to be applied. This is the worst app I've ever used. If I find a suitable app for "Word" files I'll cancel my OFFICE 365 subscription asap. Very frustrating searching for fixes and getting nowhere. Why should the task of entering birthdays to contacts (no options for this on my screen) or otherwise setting up a birthday calendar be so difficult?
Cynthia49 Hi Cynthia-this email is the WORST ever in a series that seem to progressively decline. It is as if the design thereof was given to the first year students and apprentices to start learning some basic skills but to also be given free rein to produce the most complicated, messy, inconsistent email on the planet. Tasks that were simple and consistent in earlier versions are now ridiculously complicated with minefields everywhere. Literally dozens of inexplicable operating changes. Try searching for a group of emails to place in a folder!! In early version simply highlight the first and last entries and drag them across to the required folder! Good luck!!!!! I won't bore you with dozens of other issues but my feeling about this whole mess is that it simply shows how Microsoft holds its captive users in utter contempt
- Minimal Viable Product is where Microsoft are taking all their, now legacy, desktop app development. They've all but completed this process for Mac users, with the resultant "pretty mess" that we have now and they are in the process of rolling it out to Windows users. Microsoft don't want us using installed desktop apps. They don't even want us using installed operating systems, even Windows. They want us existing entirely in their cloud ecosystem and this is where we are all being dragged, kicking and screaming, whether we like it or not.
deejinozyou may be correct. I have to use the cloud version of Office 365, as I use Linux as my desktop. Linux apps work fine for most purposes, but sometimes clients send me documents full of non-standard, Microsoft-specific elements, and I have no choice but to use a Microsoft Office 365 for the Web. But, if they're trying to push us towards the cloud-based versions, why are they so completely crap? There are features missing, or which are slow, or don't work properly at all. If they're trying to encourage me, they're going about it in a peculiar way.
