Anyone use macOS Outlook? This an option worth exploring? 🤔

@davemark Just switched to it today after the announcement 🙂 I’ve been using Spark but Spark’s been getting slower and slower as time went on and it was becoming annoying. So switched over to Outlook today.

It’s much faster, but there does seem to be a delay (a good 1 - 2 minutes) in receiving Gmail e-mails when compared to Spark which I’m still running on iOS. Other than that, it seems to be solid and works well 🙂

@f @davemark the app store version of spark is the one to use as its far more stable

@agneev The version I’m using is the App Store version — so no joy there, I’m afraid 🙂

@f @davemark ah ok, my bad... I thought you were using the new one 😅

@davemark I like it well enough. It handles email well, the rules features aren’t bad, probably the best calendaring featureser out there. Integration with Gmail and iCloud are solid. Doesn’t fall over under load the way mail et al do.

@davemark I was intrigued but not anymore after reading this: https://mjtsai.com/blog/2023/03/02/outlook-syncing-with-microsoft-cloud/

@gxgyang Interesting.

@davemark @avirr omg no it's even worse than the browser version.
