There's a good solution to this problem and that is called switching to pen and paper.

If only outlook (new) didn't randomly revert to outlook (classic) and vice versa with every other borked Win11 24H2 update.
What a FSS.

Surprised they bothered to fix it instead of saying "Move to the "New Outlook""...

We use outlook quite a bit at work and the new version imo has some gaping holes. For one the ability to read a pst file. Also limitations with public folders. I’ve also seen the new one when someone wanted to download a photo for example to act weird and have issues. While the classic version worked as always.

As a bit of an Outlook super-nerd since O2003, I'm getting more motivated to try and find something else that can handle my workload. 2019 was the last decent version, I struggle with the web version for just one corp account and Classic has more bugs than I can shake a stick at. MS had something so right for so long, yet have managed to completely balls it up over the last couple of years...

It slipped past the developers due to them being sh!t at writing code and bug checked by any reasonable coder. They live in a world of code it, push it out to the masses for testing, fix whatever it breaks or doesn't work and repeat. I very much doubt anybody in big business coding now understands their own code until they need to do a fix. In my opinion documenting coding has went the same way as QA, unnecessary expense and cut from project budgets.

I wonder if this is related to the cloud-connected stuff. It's been a while, but I feel like I had to turn off "Optional connected experiences" when I had some Outlook slow-downs in the past. Anyway, I don't need AI-analysis of my emails that I'm writing - thanks, but no thanks.
