The search function is the worst on the market and especially the Mac version is subpar to anything else. Outlook is so inconsistent that on Windows, iOS and Mac they always feel like a completely different program. If you are on a Mac or on iOS I wouldn’t recommend it.
If you have any other client besides Mail.app or Outlook then every sent mail will be saved twice and they also stripped the possibility to disable lot of people are suggesting using Outlook for Exchange. Now Microsoft decided to hardcode into their servers that every sent mail has to be saved onto the server. Not long ago you could simply fix this by pointing to the right folder in the settings. Lots of people are complaining about this. Microsoft, settings set to German language already has an “Archiv” folder. Because they don’t seem to use any standard at all Mail.app looks for a international “archive”, doesn’t find one and creates it.
Then they probably decided to hire some of the cheapest translators on this world because if English is not your native language you will probably have two archive, sent, spam folders or more. IMHO.įirst they stripped away the possibility to choose your own default folders. I don’t know who is working on Exchange but they don’t really care about anything outside of Microsoft at all. Mail is not good in handling everything Microsoft. I’ve tested a lot of Email clients on Mac and iOS recently because I had some hick ups with Apple’s loved Mail.app so far but if you are using more than iCloud standard IMAP addresses it is hit and miss if it will work.
