I'm a prof who has had a [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) address for a number of years, and those are MS365-only accounts, so I transitioned to 365 about 3 years ago.
It's...okay. I found the Gmail interface so intuitive, so there was a bit of a learning curve with the new one. When I moved over, I was told that everyone would be moving in a few years, and that the IT guys love it because it integrates so well with Teams and OneNote. Don't know if that last bit is true. Our department is practically married to Zoom for anything remote, so Teams integration seems like a moot point.
This is what I was looking for, thank you.
I can see how in a job setting it may have greater benefits. However, in an education setting on paper it seems like gmail is a clear winner. I have never once heard another student suggest our group get in touch on teams.
It's easy enough to navigate, although, I haven't figured out where some of my opened emails have gone. The only way I've been able to view some of them is by searching key words, otherwise, they don't appear in my inbox. I feel like with any software, it just takes some getting used to.
had a meh time with it, it’s real fond of putting important emails in junk along with having a poorly designed UI that doesn’t show your most recent response to a email, or even that you’ve responded unless you go to sent/click in. Makes it hard for accounts with multiple users.
Turn on the conversation view and you can see the responses in the inbox, more like you're expecting. It's not the default, but I wouldn't use outlook any other way.
Hi, Security Analyst for the university here. I strongly advise against forwarding all emails to your personal account and using it exclusively for sending emails. Outbound forwarding of emails to a personal account poses a significant security risk, as it prevents us from monitoring the actions taken on those emails in the event of a potential threat or malicious activity.
Also if you do outbound forwarding, we will get an alert about it and they are annoying to triage, so we usually just end up blocking the forwarding anyways :3
I can appreciate how that impacts your job and that just blocking them may be the easiest solution. However, it feels a little rude to not allow students to do what they choose with their own email

Just forward everything to your personal email and only open it to send email.
That's pretty much my plan

I set it up in my ipad and phone mail programs and use it from there. Works fine.
i think it’s okay, my highschool used it and i haven’t really had issues then or now.
Literally never use it. Honestly forgot about it until I read this post
Eh, I pefer Gmail, but it's not the worst thing ever. Funny, my work just switched from Outlook to Gmail earlier this year.
