Is it me or is the New Outlook including its crappy Context Menu a step back decades?
They even broke Rendering HTML properly and all the things that everyone pretty much supports like Base64 images… (Even Yahoo supports modern html).
How are you transitioning your users to the New Outlook? We still use Classic. Classic is solid. Its clean, its native.
Did the Generation of Superior Software Engineers die? :x #rant
I know that I am personally frustrated by it. There’s quite a bit I like and quite a bit I don’t. I’m curious to learn how the HTML images gets resolved.
Just right click the context menu in Classic vs PWA. Its just ugly, among 99 other design flaws.
Yeah the Context Menu was not something I really paid attention to but now that you say it… I can’t un-notice it.
The whole concept of “New” mail is just weird. It feels like a beta test.
I just took my medicine and started using it months ago in beta cause I figured they were going ahead with it regardless.
It’s beyond glitchy. I’ll be trying to correct a misspelled word and it’s giving me suggestions underneath to choose from as I click the section I wish to fix and when I click delete to erase the erroneous letter, it’s deleting the top most message in my inbox. Before I know it I’ve mashed delete 10 times cause the letter isn’t deleting and now 10 emails are missing from my inbox. I HAD to choose the suggested word to be able to then edit it… wild.
Welcome to the last 10 years of software.
Everything is perpertual beta.
It’s maddening.
Nah, we got some legends here.
Theres nothing I hate more than MVP. Sounds like PCID since 10.1.400.
I must say, the amount that work for packaging companies is impressive lol…
Dude 
You always crack me up
I’m going to be the contrarian and push back a little. 
The Windows app is great when I’m sitting at my Windows machine. It is not useful when I’m away from it, or if I borrow my Mom’s computer when out of town and don’t have my inbox, or when I’m in the car, or if I use Linux or Mac.
The other problem with native apps that interact with the outside world is that they are vulnerable AF.
The Generation of Superior Software Engineers wrote NTLM and SMB before desktop apps were connected to the Internet. The world changes, should we just stay static? 
Yes @Mark_Wonsil but it is just so bad… I get your point but I’ve tried to use it several times and every time I have to go back.
So much basic functionality lost or non existent. Replace it with a PWA sure… but don’t make it worse
I’ve been using the web-based one for so long, I feel a little ahead of the curve. Yes, it changes a lot and not always for the best I will grant that point to you and @hkeric.wci. But I have a software attachment disorder. Ever since the first platform I learned was cancelled by HP, I never got attached to any particular technology again.
Now try living in Teams! It’ll make you feel better about the PWA. 
Guys Guys Guys.
New Outlook PWA works with Google Calendar AND Exchange Calendar AND 365 Calendar. On Chromebook, Windows, Linux. I mean sure that’s because it’s just a headless browser but STILL.
It also has a search bar that works with Gmail (Classic never did) and better than Gmail.
It’s missing the Ctrl+F12 I set in classic to mark calendar events done, delegated, postponed or urgent, but otherwise I hate to be on board with a new version but I’m loving it…
I do not believe this for a minute. The Gmail search is bar none incredible also… if you have Gmail would would you ever use outlook? the Gmail interface is so much better IMO
All im saying is they could put a little bit of Craftsmanship in their products
Plus me changing OS or using Enterprise software on random devices, very unlikely - if I have to I RDP like from a Chrome Book at a conference.
For GMail it makes sense or TurboTax.
Im just waiting for people to return to Native Frameworks and stop making everything a Web App Eventually it’ll die like DEI, Web 3.0 and NFTs 
Are you sure? Yes, Gmail search is great for an individual email account - which shouldn’t be a database anyway, but I don’t want to piss off the Business Email Compromise people by suggesting otherwise. The 365 Search finds items in mail, chat, files, contacts, intranet sites, images, video, and PowerBI charts. It also restricts the results to only the items the user has access.
Until now I would never have thought so… but I will die on that hill. My big beef was that if you used outlook classic with gmail you couldn’t get it to search with the "from: " argument. You can, in Gmail - but it returns so much noise in a 10-year-old inbox. I tested it on Outlook PWA 2 months ago because I got sued and needed every email search tool I could get - and my mind was blown. I haven’t opened gmail as gmail since. I have (tearfully) said goodbye to my keyboard shortcuts and moved on.
*Edit: I won, thanks for asking
yuck lol, just search my email
