Outlook's New Version: Faster but Missing Key Features
My overall experience with Microsoft Outlook has been a rocky one. The more feature-packed old version is pretty much useless, as it frequently stops responding, making you have no choice, but to upgrade to the new version, which is missing a lot of key features. However, Outlook is still great with certain things, like reminders, calendar, scheduling, seamless Microsoft 365 integration, among many other things. Overall a 3/5.
Pros
What I like the most about Microsoft Outlook is that it seamlessly integrates with Microsoft 365, the calendar and scheduling features are great, and the search functionality is also great.
Cons
The new version of Microsoft Outlook is missing lots of features. The old version of Microsoft Outlook is pretty much useless because it is extremely slow to open stuff, and will frequently stop responding, forcing you to upgrade to the new version.

Best Email I've Used!
Overall, Microsoft Outlook is the best email I've ever used and I will continue to use it. I use it personally and professionally. It's convenient, secure, and they always seem to be updating it to make it better!
Pros
Microsoft Outlook is by far my favorite email. It's very secure, easy to use, I hardly get junk mail (like I used to with other email platforms), and it customizable!
Cons
I do wish you could more easily share your weekly schedule with colleagues and I wish you could specify what days/hours you're working in the office or working from home so that people know how to reach you. There are some features such as groups that I think are really cool, but a little difficult to figure out and use.

Easy, Organized, and Simple
Microsoft Outlook is very easy to use and helpful to get you organized!
Pros
I like that Microsoft Outlook has everything well organized and I can make a bunch of different folders to keep track of everything.
Cons
The only thing I don't like is when composing a new email, sometimes it does not let me add an attachment until I click off of the email, and it goes to a draft and then I can add an attachment. I send a bunch of emails with attachments so this is mildly annoying.

Helps organize your emails
Although it has its limitations in the free version, it can be quite useful for organizing your personal or work email, it is a software to consider for email management.
Pros
I like that through this program I can check my emails in a simple way, and always have notifications of each email that arrives, so I can be updated on my messages without having to constantly check my inbox.
Cons
It has limited storage, so you may find it necessary to delete old messages, it also has advertising that can be annoying when working.

A lot of existing solutions and unique features.
Native sync and connections to Microsoft tools.

Using it on other platforms than PC is challenging depending on business needs and other software used.
Some features, addons, toolkits are not available on Mac OS.

My overall experience on the scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 9 only reason I don't give it a 10 is because I don't know how to use some of the features

Cons
I really don't have any cons, except sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming all it can do.

Solid profession email client
Pros
Matchable features of it are really good and the calendar integration is fantastic for a professional office in. Having multiple calendars allows you to have personal calendars integrated into company-wide calendars and that is a fantastic feature. Also sorting project related emails into folders is a great organizational tool.
Cons
I dislike how app and the program are being upgraded. Computer malfunctions when you have the app version and the program software version on one PC. Windows is doing a lot of changes that aren't really necessary as they shouldn't fix something that wasn't broken but it seems the the moving into this whole cloud hosted 365 nonsense to get subscription fees.
Also then you look update for the program is messing with how we are saving emails into folder structures.
Also it's super annoying when one employee is on a Mac and certain features are simply messing from outlook on their machine. This shouldn't be. All menus should be the same.

MIcrosoft Outlook the email client
I may say Microsoft Outlook is mandatory if you have a business email and send and receive a lot of mails.
I think it's the best email client, you can manage all your emails is a very smart way; the interface is clean and intuitive. You can create your own folders and add rules to them to organize the messages. There are a lot of addons for Outlook for a useful integration with most used (third party) programs. The calendar will help you to schedule your appointments, meetings and task to do.
If you need information you will easily find the answer on internet.
It's worth the price!
Pros
Easy to use
Lot of support and informations
Lot of addons
Cons
You need a license
I don't like some layout changes of features
