Why is Microsoft trying to force me to use outlook? The app is just awful and I will not use it. I have had a hotmail account since 2000 and use mail tab on windows. Now it keeps wanting to switch me to the piece of **** outlook. Forcing this on people is ****. I will stop using microsoft email completely if this is the way it will be. Why are you doing this to people. Searching the web shows that this is really a bad move from Microsoft and is a ploy to make more money from ads. If this is the case,<removed>
Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I think they are still forcing since i was switch back to outlook automatically twice a month and some of the mails don't appear unless i switch to outlook.
Since I declined repeatedly to accept the transition I find that my document attachments for incoming mail seem to be throttled at above 150kb; in other words, if an incoming document attachment exceeds 150kb or so it will not download.
Are you working for and responding on microsoft behalf?
. . . "That said, just to clarify something, no one is trying to force you into using any paid version of Outlook."
I'm allowed to download a file but restricted to open the file unless I conform the the following terms:
This will allow Microsoft apps & services to: * Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your mail from Gmail * Associate you with personal info on Google * See your personal info, including any personal info you've made publicly available * See your primary Google Account email address. -
If this isn't coercion to force anyone to use Outlook then what is it?
Like HELL you're going to have what I call GOD CONTROL on any account or service.
The new version of Outlook didn't even load over everything that I had setup in Mail and Calendar. Which means I lose important dates that I am keeping in there, and have to figure out what password it wants from me for the setup. Everything works fine with the old mail and calendar apps. I would rather not have to fix something that was not broken before.
