Outlook is the product that proves market dominance and UX quality are entirely unrelated. The new Outlook for Windows is an improvement over the legacy client but still feels like three products (mail, calendar, contacts) duct-taped together. Calendar is genuinely the strongest surface. Mail is adequate. The rules and settings system requires a PhD in Microsoft theology. Every version on every platform behaves slightly differently.
What earns the score
- +Calendar integration is the best in enterprise email
- +Focused Inbox is actually useful when trained
- +Deep Microsoft 365 integration for enterprise users
What holds it back
- –Inconsistent experience across platforms
- –Settings and rules are needlessly complex
- –Search is unreliable and slow
- –New Outlook migration has been rocky
- –UI density makes scanning difficult
