I know the web based app require login to MS, always online, etc., but the current Mail & Calendar app is really really bad.
I use the Mail app on Windows to connect to my self-hosted email. On Outlook PWA, if you don’t have an account on Outlook or Gmail then you’re out of luck. If the switch actually happens, I’ll have to start using Thunderbird as my main app - which still doesn’t quite integrate with Windows on boot.
I am growing very concerned with what it means that all of these large tech companies are willing to burn consumer good-will by making these wildly unpopular and barely justified decisions. Seems like each of the top 20 companies on the NASDAQ have made some kind of crazy unpopular change to their service in the last 6 months.
Fingers crossed that these changes will spur more people to invest into switching to open sourced software options.
As long as they don’t force M365 accounts to switch, I’m ok. I prefer the native Outlook desktop app than the PWA.
