I use it much more than another accounts but sometimes it is slow
The new version was forced onto my account. There wasn't a chance to opt in or out. I'm not a fan. I prefer the old Hotmail layout and such. Like the "Wave 4" update back in 2010. This one is not user friendly at all. It's slower than normal. Scrolling is difficult. Also, I am not able to block scam or junk emails.
Bad privacy like big tech honestly
What a shame, the WebUI is beautiful but when using SMTP/IMAP on clients (other than MS Office Outlook) is slow and often unresponsive, I often have to set new application passwords as it's bugging. It's like that since the last major refactoring and migration. The spam detection could be better. Also, the WebUI has bad default, not protecting privacy by default and tons of analytics etc. I would recommend to use something else.
If you want to use a mainstream email service , use this rather than gmail or yahoo.
with outlook, by OWA, it is poor like in 1999 !
Outlook.com cannot receive and send email from my other Outlook account which is not hosted on Outlook.com and which does not support POP, IMAP, and SMTP.
I have the same intermittent problems when using with Thunderbird.
