Doesn't the web version of Outlook work?


It's not quite as good as the native app on Windows/macOS. I definitely prefer the latter so I would be quite disappointed. About the only app that offers a equivalent experience between web and app versions is Teams (seeing as it's just a JS app running more or less the same code as the web version so it performs just as poorly in the web browser as in the app). All the other apps like Outlook etc have what I call 'lite web apps' with a fraction of the functionality and performance of the proper app itself.


I use Teams on a Mac. Every day or two the chat window randomly disappears and it stops displaying notifications. If I don't notice I sometimes go more than a day before I realize that it's dead and restart Teams to fix the problem.

Not really, but you only can know if both parties are using Windows. Then there is remote control in screen sharing.


I've used that remote control from the Linux app.


It doesn't effectively replace or integrate into the much more serviceable linux client where I read all my work email AND all my other email
