hate the new outlook that is replacing win mail. any alternative that is similar to win mail that is simple and fast to load?

this is probably worse than the decision to remove group all at task bar and so many people refused to upgrade to win 11 because of that. what is Ms thinking?

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For business

    surprised no one has tried to build a clone. it would be so popular. thunderbird etc is lighter than the new outlook but no way lighter than win mail. win mail is one of its kind and its really stupid to replace it

    Me too, I really hate this app. It's pain in the ****!!!!

    Last time I witnessed failure from Microsoft is when they released Windows Millennium and Vista. This App is clearly in this category!

    • The default favorites is attached to which mailbox?
    • We are unable to rename favorites mailbox to identify them.
    • Opening mailbox from favorites doesn't work
    • Unable to define the default mailbox to open when starting the app
    • There is no home mailbox like on the phone App
    • The app reload itself with no reason
    • The app is slow to open
    • Ads may display...

    This is my last version of Windows (Windows 10). I don't understand why we are forced to update the App and can't keep the original one. Like forcing us to move to Windows 11, I don't even understand WHY!!!!

    For all of these reason, I quit Microsoft Windows for personal usage.

    The problem with Outlook isn't that it's slow. It's visually cluttered and difficult to see (why, oh, why, is everything gray instead of black?), the functions are hard to find and figure out, and the functionality is clunky. It is also incredibly annoying that you can't scroll down the calendar, but must use your mouse to select the next month. Frequently, I'm trying to look at a sequence of events that straddles two months.

    My current peeve, which is what brought me here, is that I have a recurrent appointment every Tuesday. Outlook highlights every day of the week, not just Tuesdays. Why would you do that?

    Outlook has been around for a long time, and I used to use it without complaint. Windows 10 calendar and email were so much better, and if you had to pick only one, I wish you would have picked the good one. But Microsoft not only made us all move to Outlook; they've changed Outlook to be clunky and user-unfriendly.

    I'm hanging on to my Windows 10 computer for as long as I can, since Windows 11 looks like another effort to make things better that just makes them worse. I wish there was a third option, because I don't want to switch to Apple but I sure am getting tired of Microsoft's failure to respect how much work is invested in knowing a system, and how much wasted effort is created when MS decides to change things up just to be new..

    Totally agree with you . The Outlook is horrible. Instead of improving Outlook, its gone to the "dogs" . I am looking for an alternative and I think many users feel the same way. Why Microsoft can't this badly thing . Really useless. I will NOT renew 365 . Microsoft is becoming a joke now
