Can it inline quote emails properly on MacOS? The regular outlook client was still unable to do so in 2022, last time I tried.

I have no idea why people would like Outlook, it's an inferior experience compared to other email clients and calendar applications in my opinion. I can't even have my personal gmail calendar imported into my work calendar so nobody can schedule meetings for me when I'm picking up kids from a school event or have a dentist appointment. I have to sync calendars by hand.



Outlook + Exchange is the best example of email/calendar integration and group scheduling I've ever used, and I say this as a pretty devoted hater of MSFT. I mean, my daily environment is OSX, and I read most of my mail in the native Mac mail client, but I keep Outlook running in a VM to deal with calendaring and scheduling because it's so good at it.

There definitely ARE limits to it -- I've never tried to merge personal stuff into my work cal, as you seem to want to do -- but for what it does, it's the best I've seen.


This is the best question, and has kept me from using Outlook as a personal email client since forever.

I used the new Outlook just long enough to see it was horrible at using existing rules and making new ones and just didn't try anything else. But I can't imagine why they would fix one little thing like properly handling inline quoting when they wrecked the remainder of what had been a decent corporate email app.
