Viewing email in Outlook via browser

T

Hello

This is a bit of a techy question and may be better placed on a different forum, but I thought I'd ask here too...

Does anyone know if you can view your outlook emails (university email address) through a different web app? I hate the Microsoft outlook interface, as the current version does not allow you to view messages individually, it insists on grouping them as conversations. This is quite complicated when you are corresponding with several participants who have all replied to your single email. It clusters them together as a conversation, and sometimes my heart skips a beat when it displays as though my personal reply to one participant has been sent to all of them (in fact it hasn't but the silly conversation feature makes it look like it, and possibly makes it more likely to happen by mistake).

Any advice about alternatives to crappy outlook interface appreciated.

Thanks

Oh I'm sorted. Just sharing what I found as a solution for anyone else experiencing the same problem. You can actually change to Outlook Light version when viewing mails through the browser. Instructions here:


It displays emails in the traditional way. It is a bit basic - but it does the trick. Cheers.

Yes that's what I use - I also hate the outlook program!

I bet I can make you like Outlook.... Use Mac Mail for a while.

Thanks for the tip, Tudor_Queen - I have also had that sinking feeling when I've thought I had sent something to a whole group of unintended recipients - it doesn't help that the program defaults to 'reply all'!
