Old Outlook, New Outlook or Outlook Web Access

Ah yes, I never use multiple accounts so that never affects me. I did know that that was an issue but always forget.

I've already been tooling around with that since I use multiple accounts.
I can use different browsers, or incognito.
Not to just get the "ding" i the browser to be different for each account.
Damn, you guys are gonna have me 100% in the cloud before 2016!

We are trying hard.

OSTs are evil. So much IT overhead goes into that stuff.
In my opinion, one of the worst things to ever happen to Outlook (second was integrating FB).
I've never had a use for Outlook. Honestly, never once used it and been happy. I've tried nearly every version and always ended up moving to something else.
huh - I really wonder what makes one person like one email client and hate another.
I know for example, I dislike Google's Gmail - no folders - though the tags idea is growing on me.

Familiarity? I don't really know. I've always hated Outlook. Thunderbird was decent. Zimbra web and Rackspace web have been my favourites. IMP was okay. OWA is improving but is too slow.
-
Rackspace - wow.. that is one of the ugliest ones ever! NTG has a client of mine on Rackspace - man it's just awful.

Same one. Very ugly, but SO functional. Fast and simple. Actually works reliably.
-
I figured out one thing I would miss with local access.
The ability to use FILE | SEND to send files.
-
Slightly off topic... but I really liked the speed and functionality of Zoho's old web client... the new one is slow and not very functional.

I managed about 10 email accounts each day. So Outlook is the best option for me. OWA isn't even an option. All the accounts I managed are on office 365 and I rarely have issues.

I don't have any issues with Outlook, so I wasn't sure what the deal was with people hating it so much.
I also have a SED, so I'm not worried about the data on my machine.

I have very little issues. Sometimes my CRM connector forces me to reboot but that is about it.

You have to secure your end point
That's an issue. -

That's an issue.We will have to agree to disagree on that one, sir.

But you were the one having to fix having Outlook, right? If Outlook isn't an issue, no need to secure it. OWA is already secure without encryption. So if you feel Outlook isn't secure... that's your issue.

Who knows?
I am of the ilk if someone (ANYONE) says ... yeah my product is secure, and doesn't put ANY files on your local machine I
a -- don't believe them or
b -- don't believe them, but test it to see if maybe they were telling the truth -

Because I like local copies of things, and am not ready to jump on your all-cloud bandwagon just yet.

Plus I still like local Outlook 2007 better than OWA.
THERE I'VE SAID IT.

That's an issue.I've been trying to use OWA a little more, secure the endpoint kind of thing.
So, say I get a PDF attachment today. To read it, it downloads itself to my hard drive, in the Temp Internet Files. Note, even though the e-mail says a PDF is attached, it seems this is a LINK to the PDF, not a PDF itself, which I am assuming would open in Word Online.
Anyway: how do you work around this?
Also, if you do ever have to work on files offline, what do you do? Download them, then delete them?
