Almost 20 years ago, I remember getting in an argument with a new manager who was pushing for the company to use Exchange “because that’s what businesses do” Then about 5 years ago something similar happened at another company when I was against 365. Their argument was “I know it sucks, but that’s microsoft’s preferred way” There are a lot of people with decision making power that base their decisions solely on marke…

But what options are there? You pretty much must choose between Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.

postfix and dovecot with an smtp relay service, and let people use whatever client they want, or that comes with their OS.

I’m kidding, I know that nobody runs programs on their own computers anymore.

If people cared about that they wouldn't be using Microsoft.

So many unfortunately don't have a choice

I understand why it is still popular, I first used it at my current job and for the life of me I do not understand how people put up with it. It is one of the worst applications I use in my daily work life.

Then you should think yourself lucky that you've never had to use Lotus Notes.

Yes, but I also remember in 2007 how I could just pound through hundreds of emails on a flight (this was pre-Internet days) and when I landed all my sent messages would just magically get sent. Sure some IMAP clients had the concept of an outbox when they couldn’t connect to send an email, but I never found one that worked as well as Lotus Notes.

Fantastic master-master replication distributed database with a very poor email client built on top.

Hey, privacy is a vald concern. I could just as easily say 'When you say "privacy doesn't matter" most of us hear "moron". Try being a bit more civil next time.

Privacy isn't free and comes with its own costs. I give up on a lot of things but I also realize programmers and ops people need to eat too, and servers, bandwidth aren't free.

Lets not ship so much tracking and ads, this way we can reduce the amount of sent data a lot!
