Maybe you don’t use it? It works fine, it’s fast and caches messages/content locally.

    Outlook Classic does that, but Outlook Classic is going away in favor of a web browser pulling up outlook.com

    That's what this whole article is about. The fact that under new outlook, clicking on a notification will take however long it takes, 10-seconds in the article itself. And from what they said, they did the tests repeatedly.

    Because it's a not a mail client, it's a web app, and those are slow.

    I use modern outlook daily. It’s not any slower than classic, especially when classic has any addins.

    In fact it’s faster to open.

    It’s better on your cpu/battery.

    If you keep all of your email in your inbox like a lot of Outlook users do, it’s much faster to switch between folders and search.

    Modern doesn’t fall apart when using shared mailboxes or archive mailbox like Classic does.

    It’s awful at public folders.

    It’s not great at browsing (not searching) for older messages as they load dynamically as you scroll after about the 3rd week.
