I wish they would fix Outlook’s HTML rendering instead.

If they can't bother with fixing its broken pop3 and imap implementation...

Outlook might be nice with exchange but I don't understand the people who use it with non exchange account. It doesn't even work properly for basic functions.

works fine for me for both my zoho accounts (IMAP) and Gmail accounts. I don't even have an Exchange account

An awesome trend.

Reminds me of object Linking and Embedding. Can’t recall if it was a MS thing or Mac OS just that it used to crash my Color Classic Macintosh way back when.

This looks really cool, and it's funny to think that this isn't a million miles away from the original promise of OLE.

I guess they expect the big money in being either the host of all that or the trusted point linking hosts and clients.

I'm not looking forward to the future where Microsoft knows when I read which email and puts content (and later ads).
