my work computer runs linux, so only o365 webmail outlook, and it’s… somewhat functional but the damn ai creeps in on every occasion.
automagic autocorrect that can’t decide if I’m typing english, finnish, or mix of both when the occasion needs it? Nah, autocorrect it wrong 100% of the time. But I did find a toggle for it after few weeks.
the apps menu to open eg. teams when needed? only options are copilot and “other apps” - which is also copilot.
not that I need teams that often, but wtf. I started using a bookmark rather than navigating the menus.
I think there’s an entire department within Microsoft dedicated to just making teams as bad as possible. Is lacks features that other chat apps have had for over a decade that teams doesn’t support.
Heck, I’d love it if they added a toggle to not hard-pan all audio to the left channel and drop all input from my microphone until I restart Teams and log in again despite having logged in ten minutes ago.
My department has a service that is abbreviated to PM. Since our organization uses Google for mail, I often have to battle with automagic corrections to every use of PM as a noun to “the PM”.
Then you have slow* computers, or an inbox of 50GB+ of emails over the last decade. I’ve got about 20k (maybe around 15GB) email after archiving a bunch of data to a .PST, and it’s much snapper.
I have to hang onto my old emails, but I’ll archive to a local file since I don’t need them all the time. I do it by every year, it’s very helpful, makes Outlook Classic very fast again. The nice thing is the archives go into the Documents which is then backed up through OneDrive.
We have outlook classic at work, and that shit takes a solid 5 mins to actually load up my inbox enough to become functional.
Outlook has always been shit, the new AI slop is just fuel on the fire.

Oh, I love “other apps”. My Teams once decided that obscure features like chats and calls belong in there.
Yes, Teams. Put your core functionality out of sight. That’s exactly what I wanted.

Check the plugins list. Some companies have a few.

Definitely.
I didn’t think so? I do a mass delete every now and then, but there always seems to me more that it’s not displaying. /shrug
Ohhh damn it! Slow** computers smh…
