Best Outlook version for mac?

[Toffel]

Hi guys,

I have to use a mac for work and I am also using the Microsoft 365 suite.
I am unsure which version of outlook to use and would love to hear about some of your experiences and opinions.

I think there are 4 ways to use outlook on a mac:

1. Outlook desktop client for mac
2. Using the "Legacy Version" of the Outlook desktop client for mac
3. Web version
4. Outlook desktop client for windows using parallels desktop and the coherence mode.

Which version of Outlook do you think is the best for GTD and why?

Highly appreciate your feedback.

The web version of Outlook gets the latest features first, followed by the "new" Outlook for Windows. At work I use Windows 11 and the "new" Outlook client sometimes acts flaky, so I switch to the web version. I also use the macOS, iPad, and iPhone Outlook apps.

I agree with @Eric Wayte. Of those choices, I would use the web version. Seems more stable with features than the installed Mac version.

Hi guys,

thanks for your feedback.

I did some testing myself and I also would say that the web version works better than the native mac apps.
The only downside of the web versions is, that you can't add more than one email account. Since I am managing a lot of different email addresses I still have to use the native app.

Legacy Outlook is the only one that supports AppleScript, so I use that.
