Through god knows how many itterations and attempts Microsoft have never been able to make a web Outlook client that works. When it's not randomly disconnecting or crashing, its clunky, slow and unintuitive. I've not had a chance to really work with it in a browser outside of IE yet, is that still a mish mash of missing features and deliberate incompatibility?
When using the proper Outlook and Lync client it's great (actually, Lync is always awful), but the web clients are terrible and as I'm often using customers PCs rather than my own laptop I'm forced into it. My current gripe is it randomly not allowing me to copy and paste into an email I'm composing.
Gmail does NOT play well with outlook![]()
Lol, you think this is bad? We're forced into using lotus notes.
I recently read an article on LinkedIn written by a 'professional' about how he sifts job applications. One of which was to immediately bin anyone using a hotmail email address. Apparently, they're all n00bs and gmail is used by l33t peeps.
I migrated from Hotmail to Outlook and have no problems with it.
I suppose it depends on what job you're applying for. But to me, the only thing that would put me off is not the use of gmail, hotmail, yahoo, outlook, but the bit preceding it, i.e. it has to be your name. [email protected] isn't professional.
I know it can be difficult getting an email address, especially if you're called John Smith, but I don't particularly like numbers in email address either.
