New Outlook takes 10 seconds to show an email after clicking a Windows 11 notification. Outlook Classic does it instantly.

    Search in Outlook always was a dumpster fire. But the search in the latest version of Outlook has failed to clear even the already low expectations I had for it.

    I now save a copy of any email I think I’ll need to reference in the future in a folder on my PC.

      You could put them into the pile of trillions of websites online, and Google would still find your file in less than a second. Microsoft has known this to be possible for 3 decades and they still shit the bed when asked to search local data.

      Even without the entire other 99.99% of the dumpster fire that is Microsoft, this one fact should have put them out of business 20 years ago.

      Microsoft is a testament to how badly our society’s system of value allocation “functions”.
