[QUOTE="pine man, post: 1928935, member: 329282"] I used the old version of Outlook from a standalone copies of Microsoft Office for many years without issue and when I moved from Windows to Macs about 10 years ago it was 'comforting' to continue with Office! After changing to an Office 365 subscription a 'New' version of Outlook was released about 2-3 years ago, which was marketed as being designed specifically for the Mac. Initially it was pretty poor and I, and others, provided continual feedback to Microsoft to get it improved. When I last used it about a month or two back it was much better but the population of Mailboxes with more than about 10 emails was still problematical and it still wouldn't deal with iCloud email Rules. A lot of users had, by then, reverted to the legacy version of Outlook but I decided to dump Office 365 altogether. Like the OP, I had problems severing my ties with Microsoft and, ultimately, closed my account completely, then opened a new one so that I could continue using the free version of OneDrive. I have used Apple Mail before and, of course, it's on my iPhone, so no problem there. Pages and Numbers provided a bit of a challenge initially but I'm getting the hang of them now and see no need to return to Microsoft Apps. [/QUOTE]
