Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I agree with this comment. I tried to use the mail client and the UI is very confusing.

The calendar, on the other hand, is a really great feature.

The mail client has a learning curve, one we are always trying to reduce. On the other hand, it can save you a lot of time, once you get used to it.

A few things to note:

  1. You should not have to move mails to folders. Finding mails is generally fast without the need of folders.
  2. For each folder, you can decide what to show in that folder when it comes to stuff like read mails, mailing lists, trash, etc. Once you have set that up to your liking, you will save a lot of time and it is a lot less work than to move mails between folders all the time.
  3. Important shortcuts : G to mark a mail as read and go to the next one. E to view mail to and from a contact, T to view a thread.
  4. Vivaldi differentiates between unseen and unread mails. Unseen are new mails while unread mails are mails you have not marked as read yet.

I know these are new concepts, but there is a reason a lot of us cannot do without this.

@jon @rob I'll give it a spin again, also because sooner or later the new Outlook will come.
I never used folders, my complains are more about the UI, I find the Outlook UI more comfortable. 🤷
Can I open the mail client always in a new window? With lot of tabs and workspaces I can't find it. 🥴

If you have more details on what you prefer in the Outlook UI, feel free to share that with me. Always interested in feedback.

If you want to have the mail client in a separate window, the easiest way is just to have a separate install where you run the mail client.

Other than that, finding the mail tab is easy if you click a folder in the mail panel. You can also pin the mail tab so it is always in the left corner.

There is a bit of learning curve here and it will be different from Outlook, but IMHO it is worth it.
