outlook.app is not bad because the mail and calendar are in once place

using calendar.app with an exchange server on an iphone is awful

Real question: why do people use local email clients at all? What benefit does it have over using google/outlook/fastmail web client where you never have to worry about things breaking or desyncing, ever?

because i need popup reminders to know when my next meeting is starting :grin:

gmail web mail is actually pretty loving awful and both outlook.com and 365 webmail are way better.

I have to use Exchange for work so on my office computer I have a copy of Outlook 2010 for Mac and it's actually my favorite mail client ever. Thunderbird never played as nice with Exchange so I gave up on it quickly and used the Exchange web client if I was looking outside of work.
We recently moved from Exchange to Office 365 though so now the web client is absolute poo poo and it has reply all as the default reply option, which made me really embarrassed when I was sending out an email intended for just one person. I've hated it since. Thank god I can still use the Outlook 2010 desktop application.

I've used Claws Mail in the past and I recommend that to anyone who hasn't used it and doesn't like Thunderbird or Outlook.

o365 webmail is good

outlook 2011 is bad, upgrade to 2016

I didn't look closely enough and it turns out that all of our staff has the new apps available to them.
On the other hand, I think switching the email clients will cause grumbles in my office.

outlook 2011 is terrible, go to 2016
