I have to say, I have been in IT for 30+ years and Apple have always had the worst email systems. Though I have to admit the new Microsoft web outlook is soon going to take that title the way it is going!

"I never use the web client for gmail just Mac and iOS mail clients so I never see all that shite.

So he gets all his email scanned and lost by apple first .. hehe

I agree it's been weak in the past but the OS X 10.8 mail client is waaaaay better than Outlook on the Mac. Thankfully they give us the choice at work what we connect to exchange with so I binned Outlook fast, it's clunky, bloated shite.

Re: Outlook for web I was reading yesterday that after the initial hype and marketing campaign it has lost 20% of users in the last month. Going back down to 6th from 4th most used mail service.

I use MS Exchange and MS Outlook (Pc Version) and I love it.. Though I do use a lot of the many features it has so that is probably why. If I just wanted a quick, basic and straight forward email system then I would not use it. It would like using a bus to just travel to work and back.

I think the problem with a lot of the email systems now is that that they are loading them up with way too many features, as 90% of people will never use these features so all it does is slow down and overcomplicate them.

Outside of my day job...

I've got a quiet business I've been operating from home which is basically affiliate marketing products from the USA via facebook ads and email.

My work know about it.

I would say a good junk of my subscribers use gmail and my email open rates according to getresponse.com (the email service I use for my subscribers) my email open rate is down by as much as 40%.

Because promotional emails are now filtered into a separate tab.

I would say most people use the social tab.

However email alerts I get from fab when someone messages still go into my personal folder and not social.

Which is odd.
