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>

    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.

    . . . "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:

    • QUOTE: To continue, Google will share your name, email address, language preference, and profile picture with Microsoft apps & services. Before using this app, you can review Microsoft apps and service's privacy policy and terms of service.

    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.

    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.

    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.
