Amazing Microsoft Outlook
My overall experience with Microsoft Outlook has been positive. One thing for sure, I am more organized with my time and workflow.
Pros
I use Microsoft Outlook everyday for my job. I like that I can set up appointments on the calendar. I can schedule when I need to send out an email. I send mass emails without anyone knowing they are on my list.
Cons
I actually like everything about Microsoft Outlook. I have not had anything negative happen.

MIcrosoft Outlook Review
Excellent experience overall. Besides some configuration issue, the program works very well and it brings several useful features.
Pros
The interface. Its easy to user, clear and you have all important info at glance. I like the layout and the button styles as well.
Cons
It hangs. Now less than before but in the last years Outlook was having troubles in handling large quantity of data. With the cloud service its much better (no more psts) but now it hangs when facing poor network performances.

Best Email I've Used!
Overall, Microsoft Outlook is the best email I've ever used and I will continue to use it. I use it personally and professionally. It's convenient, secure, and they always seem to be updating it to make it better!
Pros
Microsoft Outlook is by far my favorite email. It's very secure, easy to use, I hardly get junk mail (like I used to with other email platforms), and it customizable!
Cons
I do wish you could more easily share your weekly schedule with colleagues and I wish you could specify what days/hours you're working in the office or working from home so that people know how to reach you. There are some features such as groups that I think are really cool, but a little difficult to figure out and use.

Best Email Platform So Far
For the most part, I enjoy using Outlook. It has some quirks, but I can look past that to make sure the job still gets done.
Pros
I love that you can create multiple folders to separate the different types of emails the moment you get them.
Cons
Some of the navigation and search functionalities makes it hard to find emails that end up being buried over time.

Loving Outlook
I have enjoyed using outlook to assist in organizing work related events and reminders sent for meetings.
Pros
I LOVE the layout and alerts from outlook. I use all features including mail, calendar and reminders. Outlook offers a variety of personification options. The best feature is the pin to remind you to respond to certain emails or look back over them.
Cons
As of now I have no concerns regarding outlook and how it functions.

New Outlook is a Million Times Better
Pros
I enjoy how new outlook makes it easy to find features and looks pleasant and modern without being too overpowering.
Cons
Old outlook looked very dated. I heavily enjoy the new/browser version of Outlook more than the original. Switch if you have not yet.

Microsoft Outlook is a must have in the workplace
I have used Oulook in a professional setting for at least 20 years and also on my personal email home accounts. It is generally pretty intuitive and easy to use with many features.
Pros
I like the colored flag feature as it helps me keep my projects organized, and of course the ease of emailing and standard ooo work features and signatures are easy and a must for the office.
Cons
I have found the last 3 years or so the calendar function is a bit flaky. I will shutdown my computer and all calendars will be wiped out the next day and I'll have to add them all again and it frequently freezes when opening calendar. Not sure if it is due to Teams link at work or not but they are both Microsoft products so you think it would not do that.

Outlook for meetings and email management
Overall, I've found Microsoft Outlook to be very useful for managing emails, calendars, and tasks. While the interface can be complex and it sometimes slows down with lots of emails, it's still a powerful tool for staying organized.

What I liked least about Microsoft Outlook is its sometimes complex interface and occasional slow performance with large email volumes, which can hinder productivity.

good for backup
It is very reliable and I use it as a back up and for functions where I want to keep distinct and separate work streams. It comes with my subscription which I think is good value
Pros
The platform is very stable and reliable. It comes within my standard subscription for the Microsoft package so I think it is reasonable value and I get updates whenever they are produced
Cons
Microsoft has its own way of doing things and sometimes gets in the way of how I want to arrange things

Walking the talk with Microsoft Outlook, a very secure emailing tool.
I have had a very comfortable experience using Microsoft Outlook to communicate with emails. It keeps all my emails well safeguarded from malicious emails like junks and spam. Microsoft Outlook makes emailing so safe, easy and very comfortable.
Pros
I like the email security functions in Microsoft Outlook which keep my inbox safe from spam and other malicious emails. It has an amazing function for sending emails on schedules rather than instantly. It makes it so easy to access my emails from anywhere making it possible to work in remote.
Cons
I have not found a thing in Microsoft Outlook that does not do the job right and I have no cons.

Has all the features if not the most fun to use
Pros
I like that it has all the features I need to manage email. I rarely thing, "If only it could..." It is a one stop for email, calendar, meetings and I trust what it shows me... almost all the time. Rarely has it misrepresented anything.
Cons
It's not great to look at, and it has so many features, I get lost in the options. I wish it were smarter to know what I need and narrow my choices accordingly.

Its still one of the things Microsoft do best...
Since launching my own small business, Office365 has been a product that offers consistent value, reliability and without crazy price gouging. I looked at Google originally but this has been worth every dollar spent since I started.
Pros
Microsoft Outlook for Mac no longer feels like the poor cousin - its a full-featured, stable and secure email management platform and as part of the Office365 suite its perfect in my small business scenario. I have very few issues with it, and I know I can rely on it to keep my business communications well-organised and consistent.
Cons
The HTML formatting for Mac is still a fraction hit and its, but it does emails and email management well.
