Microsoft Outlook, Looking out for ME

Pros

Microsoft Outlook is my storage archive for all things projects, productivity, and follow up. I receive hundreds if not thousands of emails each week and with all of the tools that are included with Outlook, I am able to quickly see which are the most important, and filter out those that can be looked at later, or those that I may not even need to open. This is a massive time saver for me and helps me to more productive work.

Cons

I don't love the directory to add peoples' calendars to your view in outlook. It feels outdated and I feel it could be much cleaner and a bit easier to use. In particular, I don't like that you have to double click on the individual that you are choosing. Half of the time I find that this feature does not work the first time and I have to try again.

Way better than google!!

Overall a great email and way better for organization than gmail or yahoo. I use it all the time for my business and got to say , it’s what’s it needs to be for work emails.

Pros

I like that you can sort your email and categorize them for incoming emails. It can be separate according to who you get emails from and falls into that specific folder you created to receive their those clients. Very well with organization

Cons

I don’t like when it updates the look of it and you can’t switch back to where you were and was comfortable being.

Email, simplified to the point of complication

It is INCREDIBLE for all things microsoft, and HORRIBLE for anything outside.

Pros

It makes using a microsoft account a breeze and further incorporates your office 365 subscription into your daily business and work life.

Cons

It it horrible for managing other email providers and I firmly believe you are better of using the provider's app/website.

Integrated email services with Windows operating system and Microsoft 365

For organizations, corporate and even industry it's a must have. It works for outside communication as well as inter company correspondence. Meanwhile it's data security and privacy is reliable.

Pros

The most appealing feature of Microsoft outlook is it's adaptability to let other email services synchronised simultaneous on a single page. Secondly file sharing track recoding of attachments and archive feature is highly collaborative. It works across all Microsoft 365 apps like word, excel and power point etc with which multi-tasking and multi dimensions office assignments are made easy.

Cons

With the recent update the size of the outlook software has become a bit heavier on computer hardware resources which suggest should be re worked to make it lite as web browser level.

Best Email service for Business

Fantastic overall experience, makes my work life so much easier and it really is built specifically to help you do a better job at your profession the way it is organized...etc. Best email service for an organization. So far above other tools.

Pros

The ability to create folders and save your emails and organize them very well, as well as the ability to mark them read VS not and how CLEARLY you can see whether or not they have been read or not. Easy integration with teams and setting up meetings directly in the email...etc.

Cons

I wish there was a setting when I deleted something to automatically mark it as "Read" in my deleted items, I hate seeing unread messages even in my deleted items. Also the ability to better scan out and make some emails notified as junk.
