I wondering about it for Outlook to replace e-mail for TPG customers who
got shafted. Myself I have gmail with Thunderbird, but that seems a bit
fiddly for elderly relatives.

Most do email using their smartphone app now.

IIRC you can use Office 365 with SMTP/IMAP with any client.

But without all the features of
Outlook. But I guess it looks sort of pretty.

It seems teen-creature Rod has been sucked in by the social media
devices. With all those tiny screens, tiny buttons and all those
Technicolor ads.
O! The pity of it!

Then you need to get your seems machinery seen to, again.

The UI in the email apps leaves the UI in Outlook for dead.

The screen is in fact much more readable than in Outlook.

I dont have your obese fat fingers, porky.

No technicolor ads in the email apps I use, fool.

> O! The pity of it!

O! The shitty of it! in your case, as always.
