- procarch2019 3y agoI don’t do more work outside of my professional work. I get away with just my phone and an iPad for everything else.
- extr0pian 3y agoI'm using Thunderbird on Linux with an Outlook work account. Granted, I have to pay for 'Owl for Exchange' for it work, but I absolutely hate the Outlook program, I'm willing to fork out the $10/yr of my own money just to avoid it.
- jfhufl 3y agoIf you still have IMAP access, thunderbird supports OAuth2 for connecting to O365 IMAP. tbsync for calendar access. Seems to work pretty well currently.
- testrun 3y agoThat is my setup. Works 100%.
- procarch2019 3y agoNo more IMAP

- procarch2019 3y agoAs pointed out elsewhere. My comment wasn’t really on outlook itself. There are other things that bind me to MS ecosystem. I’m sure that’s true for a lot of people.
- _Algernon_ 3y agoDoesn't Outlook have a web version?
- procarch2019 3y agoIt does, but the applications and environments I need to use are Windows only anyway. IT policy also doesn’t let us have anything other than Windows. I could skirt it for the day to day stuff, but I wouldn’t want to maintain my setup in multiple places anyway

- procarch2019 3y agoI’ll have to check it out, but sometimes I think I should just lean in to all the MS integrations. I do like OneNote and use the ‘Send to OneNote’ for meeting notes all the time.
