@eloy they don't let you use clients with the stupid microsoft e-mail they have, you have to use outlook web app

@tauon @eloy On some platforms, you can use the Outlook application instead of the web app. Not that that's meaningfully better.

I really miss being able to use Thunderbird.

@dkf @eloy there is no outlook app for linux, and for android, it requests admin access to my device before i can use it, so i removed the account, but it's stuck thinking it's still added so for 2fa i have to always select "text me" otherwise it tries to send a message to my nonexistant phone

tldr it's a clusterfuck and postfix + roundcube + gnumail are better

@tauon @eloy @dkf

To be honest, entire email system is more than a bit of a clusterfuck.

And Google and Microsoft didn't help with that.

@ananas @eloy @dkf i still really like e-mail for some reason

@tauon @eloy @dkf

Well I've had plans to write my own email client software to replace roundcube, so I guess I kinda like it too.

It's just love-hate relationship at this point.

@tauon @eloy @dkf

C++, PHP is not really in my repertoire. πŸ˜…

And well, I want a native program for my email. Though I'd probably write it so it compiles to wasm for browser use.
