I do see the NEW Calendar will sport a search, which is a step forward. As for Calendars, the Google Calendar is superior. Thunderbird has Linux, Windows and Mac versions, which is great.

Microsoft just aren’t very good at writing software anymore and it’s pretty apparent to me that very little thought has gone into creating these ‘apps’. I use the Windows 10 mail app, but I can see why people don’t want to use it. Every time the mail app updates itself (which is often), it rearranges all your folders back to default, etc. You can’t even create folders in the Windows 10 Mail app, it’s that basic.
