    I don’t think anybody is arguing against a more efficient product. The issue I see is the multiple, incompatible versions with confusing naming schemes that exist simultaneously.

      It’s a necessity. It’s too different. It won’t ever have feature parity, and you need to give companies time to adapt their edge case uses.

      They did the same thing with Teams and did worse with OneNote.

      They did themselves a favor and killed off the Mail app ahead of time at least.

      I think calling one “new” and the other “classic” is easy enough. The only alternative is to use a different name entirely.

        Ugh, I used the “Mail” app exactly once, in 2017. That should tell you all you need to know 😂

        They could just not release the “new” Outlook until it’s more feature complete…

          Why? Dumping that shitty code as fast as possible is a win for everyone. It’s been completely capable as a mail app for over a year. It’s barely-used functions that are missing.

            Barely-used functions like PST files and clicking on something without waiting 3 seconds for an effect.
