    All MS software should be considered spyware.

    It’s just a shame that Outlook doesn’t really have an alternative with the same level of functionality (not without spending a while adding on a bunch of add-ons anyway), and many workplaces (including mine) enforce use of Outlook and other MS software.

      Honestly don’t mind when workplaces enforce X or Y. It’s not like any of my personal stuff goes on the work equipment anyway, nor is work stuff going on my personal equipment.

      Don’t worry there actively working on making outlook as functional as the alternatives.

      The “new version” appears like the browser version in a wrapper. So many features are just missing, like pinning a shared mailbox to your favorites.

        The bullshit of hiding access to previously available features (i.e. editing distribution lists in the client version), to force migration is just evil, IMO.

          How many languages can you speak perfectly?

          My english is self taught so il take it as a compliment that you regard me as a native speaker.

          Maybe learn to be less entitled and happy that the majority of the internet is a language you understand.

            A lot of native English speaking people don’t seem to understand that the grand majority of the world doesn’t have English as a native language, and while it is a known phenomenon, it’s still quite sad when a perfectly well formulated and understood message is replied with “learn basic grammar”

            Wonder how they fare in any large town or tourist destination where the grand majority are foreigners that speak with accents and broken grammar 🤔

              Or just going around the US with different accents and language patterns.

              “Wooter” for water, “warsh” for wash, hell, let’s take a trip to Appalachia, that would probably send M137 into a tizzy!

            Goddamn, your English is fantastic, I wouldn’t have a clue it was a second language, let alone self-taught!

            I know plenty of native speakers who are far worse (just hang out here for a while).

            Also, autoincorrect likes to screw with us all.
