Mail & Calendar Apps Will Be Replaced with New Outlook for Windows December 2024
Teresa_Cyrus I can't stand this outlook and was transferred over without my permission. I tired it out a while ago and didn't want or like it. I am on emails all day and night long. The emails on outlook are labor some and painful to use on my body. I have to use my hand to mouse 3x more on outlook. I can't seem to download it in my tray like I have @live.com email platform. There are some features that I used on @live.com that aren't available in outlook. There is nothing in outlook that interests me at all. I was moved on to outlook on 3/13/2024, just two days ago. With no warning whatsoever. I am now having problems with update downloads that I wasn't before this happened. I can't find any reason for this other than outlook. I want my @live.com email system back!
The functionality that once made Outlook the best digital mail program is gone. GONE. I am so frustrated by this "NEW" Outlook. Whoever or whatever decided to discontinue what has been working so well for decades killed Outlook's reputation; it wouldn't surprise me if businesses - especially corporations with 100 or more employees begin seeking another email platform. The functionalities that made Outlook unique over more common email platforms are gone and Outlook has become as dumb -- i.e., so simplistic that nothing functional remains that used to make Outlook stand out among other platforms -- as those other platforms. Who is ramrodding this change that makes no sense whatever?
Teresa_Cyrus What happened?!? I was liking the new Outlook (mostly because the old mail program sucked), and didn't really have to do anything to get to it (since I toggled the switch in the old mail program and it just took me to Outlook). And then last night.... [boom] it's gone! I haven't been able to get to Outlook at all today.
And just to give you an idea how bad the old mail sucks, since it still opens, I was able to see how up-to-date it's been keeping itself. The last time it downloaded mail was January 27
mjalcorn You can have mine then. I can't stand this new mail. The old outlook did just fine for me. I was trying to work my way through the new mail and I mean work because it is laborsom to even get through. To delete the new mail you have to put your cursor exactly in the box next to the mail and if it isn't exact then you end up opening a piece of mail you didn't want, and then you have to start all over checking boxes to delete. It has taken me an hour just checking and starting over when deleting all the mail I didn't want to open. I don't get paid for that. I lose money in this new outlook mail, it sucks.
All you have to do is download the new outlook and then it's accessible or type outlook into your browser everyday to get to your mail. I think you'd probably want to download it. You will need to have a Microsoft account though.
