I use it instead of Outlook as well. It comes up immediately and is supremely snappy.

Unfortunately they are replacing it in 2024 with Outlook Lite, which takes solid 2-4 seconds to come up.

It's amazing that a 2024 email app can manage to be slower than Eudora running on my Athlon from 1999... what did they add, a ML-powered Clippy?

Apparently a PHD isn’t in the budget for the outlook team

I guess react and a webview.

Mail app has its UI deteriorated during the years, but it is still he best email client around. Actually there is no real competition in the field anymore.
