This is silly. I want a lightweight alternative to the Outlook Client so I don't have to choose between running that piece of crap or the piece of crap exchange site. Gmail an alternative mail server, and a great one, but it is not an alternative to the outlook client.

This needs subcategories.

Your lightweight alternative to the Outlook is Thunderbird
which also has portable version. Must have app!!!

Microsoft Outlook does not have an option to select by character instead of by the entire word.

Also, when I search for emails according to who they're from, strangely Outlook for Mac often does not return all of the emails. I tried this in Outlook for Web, and it returned additional emails not returned by Outlook for Mac.

schackb · Jan 2020

Also, in Preferences –> Accounts, I set my default account to my work email. But when I click New Items –> New Email, Outlook sets the From address to my home email. I tried swapping the default account back and forth and restarting Outlook.

Outlook syncs with my Google Calendar. I deleted an instance of a recurring event in Google Calendar. I didn't expect to get any notifications in Outlook. But Outlook displayed a reminder which said I was overdue for a different instance of the recurring event.

schackb · Feb 2020

I heard the new email sound, and I found a new email in my inbox. But I did not get a visual notification of the subject of the email. I verified that both Outlook preferences and System Preferences had notifications enabled.

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager which includes a to-do list, but I'm looking for just a to-do list.

hced · Dec 2019

Use Microsoft To Do. It's super simple, yet super useful and structured.

As a mail app the current version of outlook (2007) fails. But I think the calendar and contact management surpass the alternatives I personally have tried.

I find it very difficult to comprehend how anyone can like MS Office. Perhaps if one has incredibly low standards or prefers pain to pleasure?

I'm not willing to lower my level of security in Google to be able to use Gmail in Outlook. disastrous!

Best looking mail client

Outook is the best looking PIM. Not cheap but worth every buck. Disturbing: No native PGP support and no working PGP add-ins for Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013. Also Outlook is not portable.
