Comment on A bad influence
kandoh@reddthat.com 2 months agoI genuinely would love an opportunity to scream at the people who decided to release new versions of teams and outlook.

Both of them are the same thing but require edge to be installed

I have yet to find anything at all better about “new” Outlook. The fact that I can’t scroll through my calendar anymore is maddening.
May they step on a Lego barefooted in the middle of the night.

The “new” version isn’t even a native app… It’s just the web version. It’s missing a whole heap of features from regular Outlook, like support for native add-ins. It doesn’t feel like a native app; the UI doesn’t follow the design standards of any desktop OS.
Also, if you want to use it with an IMAP or POP email server, you have to connect it to Microsoft’s cloud, and they store a copy of your email! …microsoft.com/…/0e17ab6b-48f2-42dc-9e61-f219f752…

My favorite part is how they removed useful functions that worked perfectly well on the old version.
