They have taken the best items from the mobile app and moved them into the desktop app. This was shot down by several people in the program because Office was a paid system and the Windows Mail client was just a basic free app.Anyway…Fast forward to today and Outlook for Mac IMO is the best example of what Microsoft should have done for Windows. I made a suggestion at the time that there should only be ONE version of Outlook and it should just be a lightweight application that would then "turn on features" based on what accounts are added. Log in to Replyīack when Office 2013 launched I was part of the TAP program for that launch. So like wbhite, I hope that they'll keep Outlook on the Desktop as an option like they have with OneNote. Over the years I've always requested this same option in Windows without success. Being left-handed and using OneNote in Tablet mode a lot this has always been one of my most used features. One of the biggest ones for me was the inability to move the scroll bars to the left side. I've been a OneNote user since it was first released and tried my best to use the UWP version but there were just too many features missing. Like others have mentioned I hope it doesn't turn into something like the UWP version of OneNote. Yes it has its quirks but it also has a lot of features I don't want to lose. I'm retired now but still use it every day with my Microsoft 365 subscription. I "grew up" with Outlook on the desktop during my career and still prefer it over all the other implementations. In reply to wbhite:I agree with this as well. The bad news? It appears that Microsoft’s solution for Windows isn’t a new application, which is desperately needed, but rather what it calls Outlook on the web Powered Experiences (OPX), which are literally web-based interfaces and functionality embedded in the existing Outlook client.Īnyone interested in testing the new Outlook(s) early are urged to join the Office Insider Program, where new features are rolled out first in pre-release form. Outlook on the web and already moved to React and now share a common UI and infrastructure that is perform much better than their predecessors and do so using less RAM. There’s also a shared architecture for sync, called Microsoft Sync Technology, and the firm will be using web technologies like React for UI performance and sharing features across the Outlook family, he points out. And one thing that is central to the evolution of Outlook is how we’re building toward a common architecture.” “The different Outlooks were all built at different times and on different tech stacks. “We’re bringing all our Outlooks together,” Microsoft’s JJ Cadiz said in his The Evolution of Outlook session. Well, maybe I’ll be able to soon, or at least a reasonable facsimile: Thanks to Tony Redmond, who covered this topic first on Petri and tipped me off to the relevant Ignite 2020 sessions- here and here-I now that Microsoft, finally, is going to try and fix its Outlook problem. I would love to use Outlook Mobile on Windows 10. But it became particularly acute when Microsoft purchased Accompli and turned its mobile app into Outlook Mobile, which is arguably the single best Outlook experience today. I’ve been complaining about this problem for many years, and about the irony of Microsoft’s premier Outlook client, Outlook for Windows, being the worst of the lot, with a bloated user interface and horrible performance. The initiative is called One Outlook, and it is long overdue. Microsoft is finally taking steps to use a common architecture and user experiences across all Outlook clients on desktop, web, and mobile.
