It's unbearably bad. I've wasted hours on it and it is still the clumsiest and most ineffecient tool I've encountered. Particular issues:
- Constantly bumps off a secondary icloud email which I need to obtain a single app password to log back in.
- The search function on the desktop app for Mac is beyond hopeless. I'm constantly wasting time manually searching for emails. When it does work it prioritises 'top results' over recency with very poor logic.
- Desktop app for Mac displays icloud emails in duplicate.
- Web browser cannot show multiple addresses at the same time.
- Focussed inbox makes poor decisions.
- No recall option on Mac
- Mac desktop version - signatures don't load.
- IMP email works but calendar invites to the same address do not display.
- Legacy icloud emails downloaded via POP still sitting in Outlook after I removed the account, with no clean way to delete them without affecting both apps.
I cannot believe that Microsoft actually charge for using Outlook. I feel so tied to a dreadful solution. Any ideas of what else I could use to manage multiple account (icloud, gmail, IMAP) in a productive way would be appreciated.
