    Microsoft Outlook

    I love the new style, the functionality and the way it works. Its beautiful, and when it works its brilliant....

    ...however it is far far more unreliable then the old Hotmail. Silverlight keeps crashing on me, loosing the e-mail I was typing (extremely annoying) and 20% of the time I get 'Can't connect to outlook'.

    It also doesn't sync all my sent mail to my phone, which is a pain because I have had to search several times for e-mails due to them not appearing where they should in my sent mail box.

    Doesn't anyone else suffer any of the above? What do people think of the new upgrade? It's been out a good few months now...

    Re: Microsoft Outlook

    When it works, it's amazing and on par with Gmail.

    Thing is as of late, it barely works. It's very slow, and just times out for me constantly. Even trying to use it in IE10 is a right PITA. And don't even get me started on the official Android app. Much like the site when it works, it's great. But it forced me to re-sign in every 7 days. In the end I dumped it and just used the stock Email client found in Android 4.2.

    I use my Outlook.com account with Microsoft Office Outlook Connector and Outlook 2010 - brilliant setup, didn't have a single problem so far!

    Re: Microsoft Outlook

    I love it. Nice clean interface. Android app is pretty good too.

    Only thing that bugs me is that it often decides to completely rerender highly stylised pages (i.e. ads) 5 seconds after the email has opened, causing it to lurch violently. Maybe a chrome thing?

    I find it a little slow.

    Even after email has loaded on the right side the tab is waiting for messenger.
