I'm on a Mac and ever since Ventura, Spotlight searches (for emails within Outlook) don't work properly. They open up Apple Mail instead. There is no way to fix this. It's either your fault or Apple's fault. Someone please fix it.
Also, I do appreciate Microsoft Teams for enabling me and many others to work from home so easily. The only downside I've encountered is that there are now Islands of Information scattered all around. Before Teams, almost everything was within Outlook. Now it's scattered in chats, groups, and messages throughout Teams as well as Outlook. Is there a way to unify this any better to help improve my workflow? One temp fix would be to have a "Create Task in To-Do" right click option on any message within Teams. And within that ToDo, a link would take you back to that spot in Teams.
- MS also broke the native Mac OS app focus functionality in Teams in February and that manifests itself as multiple bugs on Mac OS that essentially breaks MS's own app. For instance dragging and dropping an image into a Teams chat takes multiple tries. Clicking on the dock item for Teams doe not bring the app into view, you absolutely need to go digging around in your screens for it. When you click into the app and into a chat, single click should bring the app into focus, and double click should being the app into focus and then open showing this chat -- but instead that fails and it behaves as if you single clicked and double clicked on the chat pooping it out into a separate window. It's the only application that has these focus bugs. I've got multiple feedback posts about this but the problem is MS doesn't have a QA team for Mac OS so bugs get sent out and we are the beta testers.

Hi, Dolf! I'm so sorry you're having this issue with Spotlight searches. It would really help us if you could send us feedback directly within the app (Help --> Give Feedback). That helps provide the log files you've got directly to the product teams so that they can troubleshoot the issue. On the 2nd issue you discussed (information overload), that's also something we're trying to tackle. I really like your idea of the "Create Task in To-Do" right-click option. Can you also send that in as feedback? We've got a Teams forum in our feedback portal that you can find here: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/ad198462-1c1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472 Thanks again! We appreciate your ideas!
