Pros/Cons
Pros
- It's essentially the best desktop mail client I've ever used. Easy to navigate, easy to organise and super easy to personalise which is a great feature.
- I love the fact that it offers, email, Calendar and acceto contacts at the click of a button. Also great free version of the software, it has everything Outlook had but free.
- Email client is a very interesting email client, reliable and a excellent alternative to Outlook. Easy integration with Gmail.
Cons
- Multiple , consistent problems causing complete loss of all eMails due to database curruption. Consistently r'cvd msg 'Checking for database corruption due to improperly closed.
- They blame it on "incomplete headers. I submitted header comparisons between all sorts of mixed up messages showing no difference.
- The deliberately made a confusing choisce of versions, so I ended up, not accessin my old database, and lost also plannig, many monts ahead.
Pros
- Great email functionality, great calendar and meeting set up ability. Links with other Microsoft products such as onenote and sharepoint that’s easy to organize files and meeting notes.
- This is one amazing solution without which I won't be able to be productive and efficient great tools and solution that fulfills my personal and professional needs for communication.
- It is very easy to use, intuitive, and a clean nice user interface. The search function is great and fast.
Cons
- There is no longer an option to report Scam or Phishing messages. Any junk mail is simply deleted, and with no way to monitor them, I end up getting the same ones again.
- Sometimes when I need to reset my password I cannot do it remotely. When it resets, it just syncs errors and you dont know right away you're missing emails.
- Receive a lot of spam using this email platform even after you designate certain messages as spam and request not to receive messages. Prefer google gmail platform over this one.
