The Venn diagram of Lemmy users and Outlook users is probably pretty close to two separate circles. I'm sure there's some commonality, but probably not a lot.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 78 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, I for one work at a company that uses it. So you can at least have those circles touch.

Fellas, is it gay when the circles touch?

Bro, you say no homo bro, but I want real homo bro

At home, sure, but I have to use it at work.

No outage for me.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most probably use it for work.

A lot of companies use Google these days, I guess more of the smaller companies.

O365 for business?

I use Outlook for work. We host our own exchange server and don’t use any webmail though, so I guess that’s why everything works as normal?

[–] lud@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

For what I know the problem was primarily with the webmail.

I used the desktop app with exchange online and wouldn't have noticed anything unless the support team didn't inform us.

Yeah, many of us are lucky enough to not have touched any MS products in literally decades. Feelz nice.

Apart from all of the people working using it

I actually quite like outlook, better than Gmail and both are better than any of the desktop clients I've tried on Linux

Have you tried thunderbird? I like it a lot.

At work I haven't bothered with using thunderbird but I might if new outlook doesn't get good by 2029 (or whenever they retire the old outlook app)

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I tried it out, found it felt a bit clunky and slow which when comparing it to a web UI is a bit of a put off

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, I like it because it is fast and that all the emails are downloaded locally.

But I guess that the UI is a bit outdated especially before their quite recent makeover. Thunderbird has existed for 20 years after all.

If you haven't tried it recently I encourage you to try it again, but I get if you don't want to bother.

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I have tried it since the makeover, it doesn't look that different unless I didn't get the new version or something

that's not a Venn diagram
