They so screwed Outlook. The stupid thing refuses to respond after switching to a diff network or SSID till it’s completed some synchronization of some kind. The stupid app refuses to come into focus.

I really don’t need the freshest view at once. Maybe I just need to look at an open email you dog of an app!

Why did they castrate Outlook? Does MS hate itself? What in the name of shit are they thinking? Who does this make happy?

What I don't understand is why search is so broken.

If I do a search of my inbox with a lot of results, it gets lazy-loaded. Fair enough. But why, when I scroll to the bottom and it loads the new batch of email, does the view need to jump back to the top of the list?

Why has Gmail been able to recognize and properly group/deduplicate prior conversations in top-posted email threads for 20 years, but Outlook can't bother? That also breaks search, since every email with the result somewhere in its body (even prior emails) will appear.
