Cons
Con it's not free
not as pricey as others, but still not free.
Con Doesn't integrate
Does not support Google Calendar integration.
Con Support is limited
The app support is confusing and hard to navigate.
Con Lacks natural language input
Natural language input allows creating events in the same way if you had to tell it to a friend. Writing something like "Lunch at 2pm" would add an event called "Lunch" at 2 PM. SmartDay lacks that functionality.
Con It's from Microsoft
Con Rather buggy
Con Crashes frequently
The only issue with Outlook 2017 is that when the Mail folder increases in size, it sometimes crashes for no reason it, causing loss of data.
Con Categorize email IMAP not good
Con Frustrating user experience
The "Clean Interface" approach means that normal and necessary user interface elements have been removed, such as certain scroll bars, and even the "replied to" indicator. This program becomes more frustrating with each new update.
Con No unique Inbox / global folders
Con No portable bundle available
Con No aliases
Outlook does not support email aliases other then outlook aliases
Con The UI is outdated
Con Only available for Windows
