Microsoft Stops Offering New Outlook.com Premium Subscriptions, Rolls Features Into Office 365

Oh come on, MS... everything else, but not that?
that sent by <outlook_4J4J3KKE....@outlook.com> is so annoying.

 

I don't really care for subscription software generally, but MS really does offer good value with Office 365.

 

Didn't they just rollout Outlook.com premium in the past 6 months or so?

A good value (compared to $20/month for just email) for someone who wants to use it. But stories like this make me glad that iCloud email is free and also ad free. Really appreciate Apple's philosophy on this.

 

Haha, I only just signed up to this to use with a spare domain...

It's pretty bad, there are so many problems like sending from aliases no longer works on android ( it looks like the email comes from a weird address to recipient) and there contact syncing bugs where you can end up with duplicates

 

That's $19.95/month too much.

I think $5-10 is more appropriate.

 

I don’t understand how Outlook on the web, Mac and iOS are so completely different and confusing. And how many bugs and inconsistencies they all have. Microsoft had 30+ years to refine the experience but basic things like sharing calendars between organisations, shared address books, etc are still a complete mess. And don’t get me started on sharepoint, teams ans all these other half baked solutions. I have to use office 365 at work or otherwise I would never use or pay for this.

 

Macrumors made a mistake. Outlook.com Premium (and before that Outlook ad-free) was $19.95 PER YEAR.

 

There's a pretty big difference between month and year. Sorta changes the value proposition doesn't it?

 

Office 365 is garbage! My work when to it instead of our own hosted Exchange. It is the worst email, slow as ****, setup problems, not enough seats as before, cost is $$$$ and you get to use ****** Office. Like, why would you pay to use a ****** desktop or mobile App or web version of software when you can use iWork or Google Drive for free? The new Office 2016 is trash. I still use 2011, for excel, but everything else I do is iWork or Google Drive.

Keynote > Powerpoint
Pages = Word
Numbers < Excel

 

For those looking for a free alternative to outlook premium and gSuite check Zoho Mail

 

I've never seen the balance between Microsoft and Apple's office suites so succinctly and accurately described as that.

 

I had it for a year and cancelled after that, I was annoyed that suddenly I stopped receiving emails in Outlook because the service was deactivated on my Mac and had to log in to MS account again. At least once a week. I contacted support but no real answer, also I realize it didn't had any value because Google docs was just better for working on the same file, office just locks the file , I couldn't even work on the same file from my PC and tablet. I found that my co-workers and friends just prefer Google docs. OneDrive was good though

 

That sounds like the pile of **** that is Exchange and Outlook...
