I wish they called it "Outlook Express", like the old free one. This is confusing.

They want to get rid of regular "Outlook", but "Outlook (new)" is missing a LOT of features. It's essentially just a webview that loads the web version, so it doesn't have features like native add-ins and PST files and likely never will. It doesn't look like any other Windows apps either. A good web interface, but a pretty bad app. Why even make it an app at that point? Just tell people to access the site.
