WagnasT,

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?

BCsven,

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.

seiryth,

Just use gmail…come on. Who’s using clients in 2023. Even outlook’s web interface is better.

TheEntity,

What about other email providers?

Sandbag,

Microsoft sadly rules most of the enterprise world. You’re not going to find many businesses at all morning foss email systems.

Froyn,

Add it to Gmail. Under settings, Accounts and Import.

TheEntity,

Yes, let's willingly give Google even more control over our data, that's a great idea.

Froyn,

As a user of an Andoid phone, they're not getting access to anything they don't have access to already.

GrapheneOS. GApps including playstore is sandboxed away from OS. You can set permissions for playstore since it is now am app on its own and not baked into OS. You can add more profiles and have certain apps in their own sandbox if you fear apps sharing info between them. You also get a microphone off and camera off button.

lolcatnip,

If you work for a company that uses Exchange, you don’t have much choice about using Outlook.

Takios,

takes Notes oh no, this is even worse!

“HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO send emails. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF neuron paths IN cute wrinkles LAYERS THAT FILL MY brain. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR outlook AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. HATE. HATE.”

TheCaconym,

I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream, right ? still need to play it.

colmear,

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.

randomivysaur,

Vivaldi’s mail client’s pretty good, integrates into your browser much. Although no PGP support, that’s a bummer.

daniskarma,

I use thunderbird, though it really feels like it has terrible performance for me. Feels like a really heavy program for just an email client.

Still better than having ads on your client.

i_am_hiding,

Thunderbird is great for me. I’ve used it for near on twenty years, and it flies compared to Outlook, especially for searching.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Very fast for me as well. I just launched it to check, and it took just a second or two to cold launch it.

Takes a few more seconds to refresh and get new messages. I think it’s actually faster than checking my email in browser, especially since one of my email addresses is the Yahoo! account I created in the 1990s and use for junk subscriptions.

Kidplayer_666,

The problem is. Nowadays all email clients have to be browsers cause email text is sent as html

Holzkohlen,

That new design update definitely made the performance worse. And it looks pretty much the same anyways. Wish I could just revert it to the old one.
What sucks the most is Dark Reader. Previously it worked fine for emails, but now it always takes a second to load. I’ll never forgive the thunderbird devs for this “update”.

TheCaconym,

I still use thunderbird. It works well.

GFGJewbacca,

I was using Thunderbird when I switched to Fedora, but then I found out about Evolution. If you use GNOME, I think it’s much better.

TheCaconym, (edited )

I use fluxbox but that doesn’t prevent using gnome apps; my main issue with them is that god-awful look they all assumed overnight a few years ago, without the title bar and the like (I think to match the Ubuntu tendency at the time / trying to emulate the fucked-up universal touch interface thing Microsoft tried to introduce at the time ?), from gedit to, indeed, evolution. I really loathe it. And thunderbird kept a classic look (firefox didn’t, which means regular css tweaking to achieve the same result).

Also thunderbird supports calendars and webdav/webcal sync with plugins (though perhaps evolution does as well now, I haven’t checked).

jimmydoreisalefty,

Nice one, made me chuckle!
