No I don’t want new Fxxxing outlook
Discussion
I reverted on my work PC to old outlook, Its not ready AFAIC. Its a bit like Teams when it first came out, skype functionality was still better for a while, but it soon caught up.
I like the new layout, but some things are missing. I can't remember all of the issues, but do remember these

- Reminders> a few daysI have annual reminders (insurance, MOT's birthdays, etc) with the reminder set a couple of weeks before to give me time to get my ass in gear.
- I seem to remember the snooze time options was another one
- adjusting meeting times by typing over the time (e.g. changing from 'on the hr' or 'half hr' to 10 past or qtr past) has some weird behaviour
- the final straw was a simple thing like highlighting an email, then sort on sender name (to find all emails sent by that person), it then sends you to the top of the mailbox and you have to go hunting again for the emails.

I also can't find all the email recall functions, the recall and replace seems to be missing.
It's under the Advanced menu option, accessible from the ellipsis in the top right of the message:Judging by this thread I'm in the minority as I'm getting on well with the new version, it was a bit frustrating to start with but I persevered and am pretty used to it now.

Is Thunderbird really the only decent free offering?
Whilst I use TB extensively on Windows machines and have done for nearly 20 years, on Android I use K9 (not available for Windows sadly) and BlueMail (which is available for Windows).BlueMail is pretty good, but haven't tried the Windows version ... might be worth a look.

Thunderbird users should take a look at Betterbird. Its a soft fork with lots of annoying bugs fixed. It will run from your Thunderbird profile.https://www.betterbird.eu/#featuretable
