Outlook (Office 2013) alternatives
Hi,
I have been using OFFICE 2013 Outlook for quite a while now. It was original marketed to me a more stable and 'progress' from outlook express (which was part of windows). I have just 'recovered' from another gliche/freeze in it however, where it would not open. (something about my SECONDARY email MS account settings not being up to date (fixed just by signing in)). My primary email account also uses the same Program. Whilst this was down I considered: This is the second or third time in 2 years...this gliche /Freeze has happened. 'MS Answers' are NOT answering my 'cries' for help. It is old (ish) software, but still supported by MS. I am thinking that there are alternatives. - Office 2019 Professional Plus...single purchase (most likely though digital download). I have the disk for office 2013 and prefer this traditional method. Cost btwn $19 & $70, ONCE. - Standalone Outlook 2019 digitial download. Also about $19. - Office 365 ongoing subscription at about $100 a year. I feel as if a non-subscripton based program would suffice (as I have various cloud accounts and storages)... Getting to the point...is Office 2019 any better/stable/rigid (?) than outlook 2013 (now that my 2013 version is working again)? Whats the low down on standalone outlook vs office 2019 (or office 2013 for that matter). I have even previously considered non-MS alternatives like 'Thunderbird'. Appreciate any advises, comments... |

I agree Office 365 is expensive but the quality of service and support you get is top-notch. I have tried Outlook 2019. It`s just flawless and very fast.

You don't seem to have any especially heavy or tricky email usage, so you should be fine with the Outlook in Office 2013. Much of the changes since have to do with group collaboration and cloud functionality.
There's also a Mail client built into Windows 10. Are you getting Student or similar discount? If not, be careful where you buy—those prices you mention are in the 'too good to be true' range. |

Thanks for your responses, and apols for taking so long to get back.
There seems to be many 'digital downloads' around of office 2019 (espec on ebay) so may 'too good to be true' could b quite 'on the money'. My multiple .pst files have been deemed quite large (the largest to 2.5MB currently). Yes I do occasionally archive. Windows 10 mail doesnt provide enough options that i would be looking for...hence the search for an upgrade or addition... Lugh, I will adopt your advise and stay the course...thanks muchly Lethal42 |

Glad to help Fyi that's quite small. My current PST is 246MB and my largest archive is over 1GB.
