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 came here out of pure frustration at how much Outlook Mail SUCKS and has been just destroyed by whatever group of amateurs they must have had working on it. It's so bad, it deserves an award. It's just a nightmare to deal with.
Can we do, like, a class action lawsuit? I simply can't believe how awful this email server has become.
- It's absolutely terrible!! I'm so po'd because Microsoft's promotion materials said that Office 365 versions of the apps were "Premium" versions. Premium??? If they were being honest they would have said "watered down versions". In Outlook for 365 you can't search for related emails, if you choose to have copies of sent emails save in the folder they were originated from they save at the top without showing a date (so they don't display in sequential order with the rest of the conversation), you can't "edit" a sent email to add notes, you can't ""Add Item" (i.e. attach another email) except via a rudimentary process of first forwarding the other email as an attachment and then copy it to the other email you want to attach it to...assuming you need to attach multiple prior emails. Those are just 4 that immediately jump to mind. And don't even get me started on OneDrive!! Let me guess, I suppose Microsoft won't apply the annual purchase price of 365 to a desktop version? And even if they did you'd be paying their MSRP price instead of the market price. I could not possibly hate Microsoft more right now!
- It still sucks, big time. You may be too young, but Outlook Express was the best they ever offered, and it has been all downhill since they stopped offering it. 365 sucks in so many ways that it's difficult to list.
The first clue is that MS actually lists reg edit fixes to change options as simple as a scroll bar width or colors. Really MS? No GUI for a featuref you always had in an easily-configurable GUI? We are all supposed to see colors and sizes your way, or the hugely useless "accessible" way? I can give IT a heart attack by going into reg edit, and multiple other sites help with that as well.
That's just viewing options.
RIBBON - Omg, what Sesame Street grad created that awful monstrosity? The ribbon is so useless, it's best to permanently hide it, and customize the mini-ribbon. Caution, if you hide the main ribbon, keyboard shortcuts change (MS: "Surprise, Suckers!").
365 - Built "up" from a home-based non-business model focused on multi-media-for-profit, it left professional users fending for themselves for solutions. Unlike you, MS, most of us need to WORK at WORK, not play with real-estate-grabbing and largely useless toy icons.
I could go on and on, but need to GET WORK-AROUNDs done while forced to use this, in my opinion, inferior business product.
