Being dull and boring is better than the daily sh**show that was Lotus Notes. The Outlook interface is familiar to most people, whether they use the app daily, so most users will easily find their. The bottom line is that after using Lotus Notes for several years I can no longer complain about apps like Outlook, Apple Mail, or even Thunderbird. To test out this alternative email (and everything else) client, I ran eM Client instead of Outlook on a Windows 10 instance to see how it performed compared to the app we’re all accustomed to.
I had a lot of calendar and meeting invitation sync issues between Apple Mail and the Outlook users that I need to work with. I use the native app versions that come with Microsoft 365. I don’t have any issues with notifications with Outlook on macOS or iOS. My hope is that Microsoft doesn’t dumb down the universal version of Outlook to make it more like the current Windows version. The Mac version is actually better than the Windows version for one big reason - unified inbox. You cannot record the movements of the laser pointer while recording voice to your PowerPoint presentation on Mac, but can on the windows version (for several years now)! Nice to see they are working on something that won’t be partially neutered on Mac.
