A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Because this post is about the Outlook client. Using a different client avoids 'features' in the Outlook client.

Microsoft have made things super confusing by using "Outlook" to refer to both the client and the server, when they're separate things. The client works with any email provider, and Hotmail / Outlook / Office 365 / whatever email accounts can be used with most clients.
