I saw no poll???
It's the first time I've ever posted a poll, so I must've made a mistake!!!

But it makes no sense cause immediately after naming, creating and posting these two polls (see above)

Outlook poll: Notes field_______and_______Outlook Classic or Outlook New?​

I cast the first vote and was able to view the results as they grew to gigantic proportions (of less than 10 responses).

I'd be screwed without (Office) Outlook.
By the way, I share your sentiment but am worried I'll be screwed by Outlook.

One minor detail: How do I correctly post a Poll and confirm it's correctly posted?

About 10 billion
OK, I'll re-phrase that ... how many discerning people still use o/Outlook? That will help eliminate a lot of the sheep who simply follow Microsoft's in-your-face offerings ... "It's there, so I must have to use it?"

I've recently reviewed the alternatives, and (apart from Thunderbird and one or two other free offerings) the paid-for software (such as EM-Mail) are really rather expensive. A lot of people will decide that for their own use of email, the client incorporated in Windows is enough. Nothing to do with being sheep.

OK, I'll re-phrase that ... how many discerning people still use o/Outlook? That will help eliminate a lot of the sheep who simply follow Microsoft's in-your-face offerings ... "It's there, so I must have to use it?"

Tons of people at work have to use it. It's an Enterprise app. There's no gettin' around that. 😉

For my home system, it's Thunderbird all the way... 👍

I'm a Microsoft 365 subscriber. I've been a Microsoft Office user for more than 25 years. For me nothing else measures up to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
