New Outlook for Mac available

[Darko]

Read on Friday that MS have released the new Outlook that will be part of the new Office for Mac 2015 suite.

It's available to office365 users right now. Got it installed and it looks nice and flat. Still playing around with it.

Anyone else using it?

Awesome, downloading now!

Meh. Doesn't work with Exchange 2007 which we still use at the office.

Guess it's no biggie, it really doesn't look like there is that much different.

Why do you guys use Outlook over the built-in client? Is it because your office setups are Exchange?

Yes. I've tried using Mac Mail but it just doesn't do Exchange as well as Outlook.

I still use the default mail client for my other accounts though (non-exchange).

Yeah, my office uses Exchange. It's also integrated with Lync for meetings and statuses.

Is it faster than the existing one on the same hardware?

Habit. I should probably ditch it since the mac isn't connected to any corporate email.

[AfricanTech]

Because the Mac mail app sucks. Although to be fair to Apple, I haven't tried it since Yosemeti.

Outlook on Mac is probably the most unstable app that you can get on OSX.

You'd be surprised. I use Lync and OneNote. They both crash hard everytime there is some internet connection loss. It's crazy.
