New Outlook, which forgot to notify me that I had a meeting coming up despite having notifications set for it.
In a corporate office environment, that’s one of its two jobs.

At least it doesn't crash. At one point, it used to just die on me. They've also fixed the window decorations and ramdom icons in the left toolbar, which used to become weird on mouse over.
There's also something else odd going on with the app. When I start it from the start menu, there's a very long lag between my pushing enter and the start menu going away. This happens every time I start outlook after a fresh boot, but doesn't happen with other shitty apps, like New Teams. For those, it disappears right away, even though the app doesn't start up instantly. It doesn't matter the order in which I start them, nor if I only start Outlook after the machine has been running for a while.
much better than nuOutlook
though often hard in most corporate environments...
that said, if I were in a more buttoned up IT environment, I'd just use the web client as it's sadly faster than the desktop client these days
I'd use the web client now except the version my company has is pretty bad and old still...
I'm not in a "buttoned up IT environment", but I still prefer the web client. It actually works great on Firefox on Linux and is way snappier than local outlook ever felt.
