    Outlook, like most email applications, keeps each client separate from all others instead of integrating them into a single presentation like Mailbird does.

    Unusable for my needs. Can't discard groupment of letters into conversations and delete or move to folder only single letter, not conversation entirely. And it shows only last letters in each conversation, other letters become invisible.
