We are REQUIRED to use outlook at my job, along with all the MS bullshit. I’ve changed my Thunderbird interface to make it look exactly like outlook, synced my calendars, and kept using it for the past year or so. They have no clue. I hate Microsoft with passion, I will spent hours of my free time to find ways to be out of their ecosystem if I need to, and I usually manage to do so.
Cant they see the email domain? Or thunderbird accesses outlook?
AFAIK thunderbird can access outlook.
I honestly don’t know much about how that works. I’ve just managed to sync outlook emails to Thunderbird with the Exchange protocol or something. I get taken to my organisation page once every two weeks or so, for the 2FA, and everything works just fine. I’ll just play dumb if IT ever ask me question but so far so good.
My work won’t allow thunderbird for o365. :(
How do I convince the security dudes to allow access to it?
True gigachads write emails from the terminal.
mutt ftw
or elm, if you wanna go oldschool
I like to use telnet
The Lemmy client I’m using thinks your account is
Edit: And somehow I managed to take the screenshot at 4:20 AND I’m not even high. Yet.
I use Voyager too, was going to comment the same xD
Maybe it’s intentional, 420 years:
Yeah, it’s very intentional, I’m from 420 years in the future. 🤣
Is there a single Lemmy client this doesn’t break? Jerboa lists your account creation date as “4 centuries ago”. Guess it can’t handle negative time deltas
Wow that’s an odd bug! I’d report it to whatever client you’re using - my account creation date is set to the year 2443.
Doesn’t seem like a bug then, does it…
Maybe it’s a lemmy thing cus on Avelon it says “Joined now ago”
Jerboa user here and uhh
Jerboa, I simply do not think that is true
I haven’t really used an e-mail client since I got my hotmail account. Then later went to gmail.
Are there any advantages over using a web interface?
Unless you to self host, no

Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The operation has failed.
As the de-facto IT admin in a small business, this message haunts my dreams and I hate that I know it by heart. Time to make a new mail profile and configure all the accounts again. Its not like it’s the seventh time on this computer. It’s not like I’ve reinstalled Outlook three times already as per Microsoft’s “accepted solution”.
There’s a reason I don’t use Microsoft software on my hardware.
One time, when I had to use outlook, someone called me asking why I wasn’t replying to emails since like 3 days. Turned out Outlook had decided I could receive emails, but when I was replying, the email would put in a special folder “to be sent” or something, because the MS outgoing server was not working. I looked like a fucking imbecile when I figured it out and tried to explain what happened.
My current employer doesn’t use Outlook, but I’ve worked for several in the past that do, and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all of those messages at some point.
I just use Outlook as a PWA as part of the M365 system. Works great imo. The desktop client can be a bit of a resource hog. I installed the PWA as an app and haven’t looked back.
Windows used to have an email client that was just called Windows Mail. It wasn’t Outlook and it was actually quite a nice little email client as far as MS software goes. They announced that it would be discontinued though for the sake of getting everyone into outlook. I started using thunderbird instead.
There’s currently Windows Mail on Win10 and 11, it’s also not too bad.
Outlook is a nightmare.
That’s the one I’m talking about but it’s not preinstalled anymore and they’re taking it off the store at the end of next year so I decided to just leave asap.
Oh I did not know that!
Back when I was on windows, I didn’t even bother with clients anymore. The new outlook has ads in it and barely works.
I use Thunderbird now since they updated their interface and it’s very pretty and fast. Couldn’t recommend it enough.
Yeah, I never thought I’d use a dedicated email client anywhere but work, but Thunderbird is really good.
I also use K-9 on mobile, which I like even more, but marking messages as spam never seems to stick. I still keep getting absolute trash from Google, even though I unsubscribed to updates a long time ago.
I was a K-9 user for a time there. I sprung for the Nine client’s 1 time buy for my work email so I could control with a schedule notifications and mail retrieval.
I now use it for my Gmail client so I can add inline photos to my messages on Android.
instance checks out
I use Luke Smith’s script https://muttwizard.com/ to set up neomutt usually. Or Thunderbird. I have tried to get mutt working many times on my own and at this point I honestly dont think that I am smart enough.
Outlook is a pile of crap, like every microsoft shitware, especially the electron crap, like outlook, teams, etc.
That’s an understatment.

owa is so much better than outlook for me, at least for my work email. There’s actual dark mode, the servers seem to do all the heavy lifting so it never seems slow, the attachment preview is better and i can download a message as .eml instead of proprietary .msg format. Probably once a day I have to hit F5 because it starts acting weird. You can also make it a PWA. Seriously if you have to use corporate email give OWA a shot.

Never thought the day would come when an EMAIL CLIENT’s performance benefited from cloud processing. How bloated is this shit?
We have workstation machines at work, Outlook is a dog app and OS is not great either, and search is absolutely garbage. So now I boot to linux and use the web version and it is peppy. So processing on a server is better for this junk they release.

Everybody does, comrade
I don’t. But I have never used it, nor do I intend to do so in the future. From what I heard I would hate it too if I had used it.
Nice one, made me chuckle!
takes Notes oh no, this is even worse!
