New Outlook takes 10 seconds to show an email after clicking a Windows 11 notification. Outlook Classic does it instantly.

Both of my workplaces use Outlook, and it's so cumbersome. Microsoft's products do not work well on Linux/Firefox. It's like they only test in Edge.

Tried to install and use Thunderbird the other day. Of course I need to ask an administrator to get permission to use Thunderbird as an approved app for both organizations. Not gonna happen, probably. ๐Ÿ’€

I am one of the biggest MS hater out there and my organization requires outlook.

Not sure how I did it, but I've manage to bypass that stupid permission thing. You can get TB to look pretty much like outlook so nobody ever said anything.
