I view Outlook as the Emacs of e-mail. But the unfortunate part of Outlook in my experience is that between jobs my Outlook configuration is completely non-portable by design it appears (I have to reconfigure each time I switched to another company).

Assuming you're an employee, this is a feature. Your old employer probably doesn't want you taking your email with you, and rightly so - and your new employer very likely doesn't want you bringing your old email with you, for exactly the same reason. So... there you go. What's the problem? I suggest embracing this rather than worrying about it.

For me, it's because of a single factor: BSOD caused by shitty geforce drivers. I used to think the linux geforce drivers were shit because it was a neglected platform. Now I know the truth: windows geforce drivers are full of pain and tears as well. I don't see any of the…

I haven't had any problems with macOS stability lately. Has anyone else experienced what the author describes? Around me Windows 10 has crashed more than macOS. but Windows 10 is really stable too.

Don't write off Outlook without a second thought. It's big with loads of features, yes - but that's what's good about it. If all you need to do is plain text email, sure, Mutt is fine. If you deal with a large amount of email, calendar appointments, tasks, contacts, etc, in a professional role, nothing beats Outlook. There's a reason it's so popular.

The issue is, that Outlook sends crappy emails in the default setting. And since nobody changes those everybody is sending crappy emails. Also, we are talking about email. Maybe it is good for an address book, calendar, tasks, etc. pp. But as an email client it is awful, also because it is as complicated as mutt but actually less powerful. My biggest complained about Outlook is actually a bug in their HTML engine. Fr…
