Hi Adam,
Yes, I use Outlook – not because I actually have any problem with Apple Mail but more because I have stuck with Entourage & then Outlook since the days when Apple Mail wasn’t as good an option. Mainly though, back in the day, I used email much more at work than at home - and work was generally MS based. I also got very familiar with setting up various email rules – POP rules, IMAP rules, server-side rules to direct emails from (at times) up to around 15 different email accounts into various relevant folders. I have less email accounts to worry about now - but still use rules a lot. Now, no doubt, Apple Mail would let me achieve all the same things – but I have decades of experience with the Entourage/Outlook methods – and plenty off learning curves to ascend as it is, I don’t need to add any more without sufficient reason! Another plus - recently Georgie decided to replace her (very) old iPhone with an Android phone – setting up Outlook on the Android phone was pretty much just the same as on IOS. As I recently posted, I finally moved to the subscription model for Office and, regarding the cost, I would also note that my Office 365 subscription covers up to 6 people and up to 6 TB of cloud storage (1 TB per person) – whereas if you want more than 5GB/person of iCloud storage you have to pay for it and if you need more than 200Gb you have to jump to $15/person to get 2TB each. We only actually use 2 of the 6 – but it still seems OK to me - also, don’t forget, you can pretty much always find Office 365 subscriptions cheaper than the standard MS price (I generally use Officeworks). However, as with all these things, it really depends on what features you want/need, how you intend to use them and across what spread of users/devices/operating systems – what works best for me may well be different to the best solution for other folks – despite marketing department hopes/assumptions, I doubt there is such a thing as the mythical “typical user” but even if this mythical creature exists, it sure ain’t me!!

I have been using Office 365 for a number of years now and I am not sure of the value of that at $99 per year. I know at that price it includes Outlook, but I never use it. [Does anyone use Outlook because, for instance, it is so much better than Apple Mail?] Thanks Adam _____________________ Adam Lippiatt adam.lippi...@me.com 0402 301 706 On 17 Jun 2020, at 9:49 am, Stephen Chape <chap...@bigpond.com> wrote: Yes it is Peter. But my apologies .. it was MS Office 2019 I got for that price. I put the wrong year in my header. I was running 2016 which is also 64 bit. But my daughter’s new iMac would no longer run her 2011 MS Office. So I got MS Office 2019 and passed my 2016 on to her.
