      TIL that in Outlook Web Interface you cannot search and sort your inbox. That is, you can't search for a term and then sort it all by sender or subject. The most basic need. People keep saying monopoly doesn't matter, look at Microsoft. I'm like, yeah, look at Microsoft products.

      I'm not a novice user at all but I often cannot manage to do simple things in Microsoft products, and end up asking my help desk. If there is a way to search and *then* sort, such a simple thing, do let me know because the UI is so terrible that we couldn't figure this out.

          Yep. It's all so terrible that there is no way it would be a viable product if it weren't for the fact that end-users have little to no say in what to use in corporate/enterprise settings—and that result traces directly back to the early monopoly status.https://twitter.com/notoriousbigre/status/1265995948183957506 …

          Most Microsoft software (Teams for ex) feels completely arcane to me. And I'm (supposedly !) a UX designer.

          Always an assumption that I'm an idiot with computers (implied old and/or female). I've been programming since I was a preteen—worked with mainframes, midis, PCs and I can program by putting hex codes in debug. Now send a screenshot of search-and-sort.https://twitter.com/Rationalbot/status/1265995880504721410 …

          I know. Basic stuff should be easy to do, including for novices. But whenever I point that out, part of the push back I get is that I must be an idiot or a novice. Implied or explicit is female/old/stupid etc. https://twitter.com/douglasjmorris/status/1266003959300448260 …

          Yeah, Outlook Office 365 is horrible, even useless when trying to find something. It used to work well.

          I'm at UNC as well and have to use the web interface for my email and I seriously think it should be a reason to get paid more.

          Please send a screenshot! I searched for days; my help team (not at all incompetent) searched and concluded not possible to search and *then* sort.

          That's one of two reasons why I'm a Mac user—too often, I'm needlessly unproductive on Windows. (The other? The Unix command line environment on Macs, though the Windows 10 Linux environment might suffice for that.)

          She's talking about the web-based interface, which is the same on Macs and Windows.
