It's worse than the Classic by 10/5/2023. It sometimes loses IMAP folder access. Can't force a manual sync with an IMAP server because there's no button for it. Auto-sync might work ONCE, then misbehaves thereafter, because apparently Microsoft Cloud is causing unnecessary interference somewhere that my ISP does NOT approve of. Sometimes I can remove an IMAP account and add it back and the client will somewhat work okay for a few moments, then BAM, right back to choking and misbehaving. If I try to add an account manually with advanced settings, then I can't see any of the security protocol options and have to guess at them. So far I've figured out the options are, Auto SSL/TLS, StartTLS only, an NONE (not good). If you know the account runs better with a SSL-only port on SMTP, then you're screwed there as well, because it only defaults to StartTLS (an erroneous assumption from "none") and won't send the email. Just like FLUKE says - It's absurd!
I'll tell you what. Here's what I've decided to do. - Uninstall all Outlook Mail, forget it, and return to using my ISP's webmail page. Probably what I should've been doing the whole time anyway. They've got glitches too (cosmetic), but it's nothing like this mess.
