ive been using outlook for months and using it pisses me off several times a day

before that i used thunderbird and, well, let's just say there are reasons i decided to give outlook a chance

is there anything else i can do besides sending all my accounts to gmail, which is tolerable but only slightly

holy gently caress email is terrible how does it even still exist

webmail is garbage. I use mail.app, which is sufficient for my purposes, even though it is dumb and caches the entire imap tree locally so I have 25 gigs of email in 200,000 files on every machine I own

several times a day outlook reverts messages to unread after i've already marked them read

sometimes i can mark something read, wait a few seconds, and watch it get marked unread again

this happens most often with gmail addresses, but occasionally happens with every address i use

thunderbird just lagged like poo poo. i think my inbox was just too big for it to handle (that's what ze said)

srsly, come at me and try to tell me all email clients don't suck without breaking face

sounds like you're using imap, your mail protocol is a pos

thunderbird is literal garbage. it's the proof that the Mozilla foundation was a one hit wonder.

google's imap is also garbage. can't blame outlook for that. I don't like outlook but it wasn't that bad last time I used it (which was forever ago, so they probably hosed it up by now)

win10 mail is extremely ftw but i dont like how it doesnt import my sig from the gmail account (g apps... for biz) and also appends its own sig by default.

This is actually a good thing because it means you can search for a 5 year old email message and find it in under a second unlike Outlook which tries its best to crash the exchange server while searching for old crap

on an iphone it's the opposite. Phone will keep mails from up to 3 months and anything older well that's too bad why do you want old email.

on the other hand outlook on the iphone is nice to use so there's that.

an old workplace used lotus notes for all kinds of random bussiness apps, they had like two FTEs dedicated to maintaining that garbage :psyduck:

my current workplace uses outlook and its OK, except we upgraded to a newer version that has tons of useless whitespace instead of clear delineation between messages and a really off-putting smoothed cursor effect when typing

notes is actually really good at some things and it makes building apps pretty easy and fast. its way better than sharepoint for some of those things.
