What do you like best about Microsoft Outlook?

If you are working in the Microsoft ecosystem of solutions, this is a great tool simply because of the integration with the calendar, teams and other Microsoft solutions. I like that I can create folders and organise my emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Outlook?

The interface is not intuitive enough. It's crammed with text and sometimes it takes time to find the right button.

I don't like that when I open Outlook, my latest email automatically opens and gets marked as Read. Or simply any previewed email gets labelled as Read. I want to have a possibility to read the email but respond to it later. SO I prefer to keep them unread until I have time to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
