IT services at my employer have said this is because they no longer support “3rd party email apps”. I found this out after not being able to collect email for two days on Apple Mail. My employer has, without notice, made Outlook the only email app we can use to access our email. I wish Microsoft would swallow it’s pride, and prosper by improving its Mac Software.Īlthough, it should be said that Microsoft’s Mac Software is still better than the Apple Software for their own Mac. I use a Mac, because it is so superior to a typical PC. I am hopeful that Microsoft will one day improve the Mac Software products up to or surpass the PC versions of Office. Instead, I use MS Word, in the NOTEBOOK LAYOUT VIEW, as a substitute. I miss OneNote, which I used to use when I was a PC guy. Typically, I’ll probably delete about 10% of the EMAILS and file the rest. At the moment I have 149 emails that have come in since Monday that have not been filed yet. My weekly “Look-a-Head” is done over the weekend, I’ll probably add 10 TASKS and eliminate 5. I use TASKS in Outlook for my GTD system along with MYDay, a combination Calendar/Task App that in unique to Outlook 2011.įor me, this works better than the Apple Software and OmniFocus. I was using all the Mac Software with OmniFocus, but switched back to Outlook 2011 just this month. Apparently, it integrates better with Office 365. Microsoft in February of 2013 came out with an update for Office 2011. And for that, iWork does that much better. It might as well be a product from XYZ Computing with Office file compatibility. They don’t do the same UI, the same navigation, even the same functions as you get in Windows versions of Office. Microsoft implements Office on Mac totally different than on Windows and it isn’t just about the operating system. Think about it: When people buy a Microsoft product for the Mac, they want the same functionality that they get on Windows - they just have a Mac. IWork came out with an upgrade - Pages, Numbers, Keynote - and I went there and totally blew off the Office upgrade on the Mac. Not there in features, not there in synching, not there for the iPhone, etc.Īt that point - unless I am forced to - I just gave up on Microsoft applications as well as their operating system. When I first saw Outlook getting upgraded on the Mac, I was EXTREMELY hopeful that Outlook would at least get to an Outlook 2003 Windows level.Īlas, not. I am using it right now at my consulting gig - following the Outlook setup offered by DavidCo. I have successfully implemented the GTD approach in Outlook - for Windows.
