tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš4â© âšdaysâ© agoWell, they didnât fix the render engine for Outlook and it became the worst platform to build emails for.
Iâm thinking a client would be good for someone like the MIL. She needs to have a couple of email addresses and she always forgets the passwords. A client like Thunderbird could put them all in one place

I was mostly joshing about about Outlook. The thing that bugs me with web based email clients is that sometimes they override default webapp user interactions / donât follow the most basic of common UX. e.g Scroll click, and ctrl+click. Those two are are critical to how I use the web as someone with âfuck youâ amount of screen real estate. Taking things like that away really pisses me off as itâs not me thatâs broken. Also Accessibility is an after thought, although I donât have any disabilities, as a power user sometimes I donât wanna use a mouse and instead just solely use a keyboard and tab + shortcuts, thatâs not really fully feasible without frustration vs. old desktop clients. Plus donât get me started on specifically emails âbackâ from search being a different button⊠The amount of times I just have to re-search for the same thing đĄ
Other sites do it too but emails seem to be the worst for it.
For your MIL though, if itâs primarily using passwords thatâs the problem then why not just set up LastPass? Youâll then also know that she has a unique strong password for every site as an added security bonus. Tbh I also combine that with just Googleâs password manager for stuff I donât care about
