At work on Monday I opened the full Outlook app and then the shitty new Outlook Web App also force opens. And the new app really is shit - for example I'd set up a whole bunch of folders with contacts in and shared them with other users; in the Web App those folders are entirely empty. Forcing people to migrate to a worse version of their platform. Fuck microsoft.
I have 365 Outlook installed on my home PC for the rare times I work from home, but I barely use Windows anymore and if needed I'll just remove Outlook rather than put up with this nonsense.
A worse version they're paying for.
Thankfully Microsoft said they're supporting classic Outlook through 2029. Otherwise pushing New Outlook as it exists now, without reducing the license price accordingly, would be almost straight up robbery.
But I have a sneaking suspicion that in the years to come they're going to start removing access to classic Outlook from more of the 365 licensing options. You already can't use it on F3 and some others, eventually they'll pull it from everything expect the higher tiers as a way of forcing companies to move.
And you can bet your ass they'll warn them sternly about 3rd party mail clients. Those "security risks" will keep them from seeking any alternatives, even if they're completely safe.
