The only reason I ever even tried "Outlook (new)" was because the old Microsoft "Mail" app was trash (the piece of shit wouldn't even let me send plain text email). I immediately lost interest as soon as I realized there was a bunch of 365 shit bundled into it that I couldn't disable.
I'm waiting for Outlook (Taylor's Version).
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.
Jokes on you, I use the WebApp
Don't we all ?
Outlook (the one that uploads your email login password to microsoft, and which markets this as a feature)
Yep that'd the "new" one.
Even for 365 subscribers.
I use Outlook (new) at work, and I still sometimes look at the icon in the taskbar and think I have new emails because it has a little "new" badge.
It's funny because your new (commercial) outlook and the new (general public) outlook subscribers get from MS is not fully identical.
M$ wanted me to upload my emails.
Outlook (no I don't want it) (still) (really not) (WTF I SAID NO)
This guy Microsofts
Oh yeah, that’s a totally legit word. Not like it’s a nonsense sound. New. New. New.
New.
This is completely wrong. The bottom left one should be in all caps
Mildlyinfuriating
Same shit with Teams.
The infuriating thing are the ‘do you want to switch back to old terms?’ messages. Like are you fucking serious what the fuck even is the point of that what the fuck are you even doing with these ‘new’ apps if you’re going to use the same pop ups in both directions basically.
I think that happens when you launch Teams from Start. But that Teams icon is actually the link to the Old Teams with the New Teams having its own also new but separate icon somewhere else in the Start menu...
Because Microsoft.
What do you mean? Its easy!
Teams White and Purple=hotmail
Teams Purple and White=365 for business
Teams Lavender (new)=Electron App
Teams Mauve (with Knuckles)=Teams except you are talking exclusively to Copilot AI
Teams Royal Purple (360 Edition)= Used by the Kansas City Royals baseball team
Teams Sky-Blue and White (Me)=Skype for Business
Teams Periwinkle= Codename for Slack
i was halfway through your comment when i realized it was a joke
Only some of it is sadly.
Damn, I was used to work around shitty stuff on Teams. Are you telling me they're going to push another, different set of bugs on me now?
It's Microsoft. There's always more bugs on the way.
