we really wanted a place where, even if your app crashed, you could always get the data out of the app. Little insider history: we did a lot to try and make sure data didn't get locked-in. The app was far from as full-featured as some users wanted (especially Win Outlook switchers) BUT did make enough progress to avoid the backlash of other 'rewrites' out there (e.g.

Updating the Export feature was one of those trade-offs (it's just not a super frequent user activity) that part of Outlook leveraged code from the much-despised Microsoft Entourage.

We rebuilt the thing in Cocoa with an entirely new Exchange client codebase-it was a beast of a project done in a fairly short period of time.įor better or worse, there were a lot of edges we didn't get a chance to smooth out by the ship date though I believe we made reasonably solid trade-off calls based on the team and deadlines we had.

I was the PM who led Outlook for Mac 2011 so I know many, many of those tricks. Bill, where are you? Surely this is easier than Malaria. Plus this is an old product for them, just new to the mac. They are not an early entrant here they need to do better than the competition, not notably worse. The tagging fiasco and lack of export are both unconscionable though and embarrassing, imo. Anyway, they don't appear to have screwed that up. Which, to be honest, is what I would have done too since it's pretty good. But they did this largely by copying google's two-factor auth stuff. I will say that they seem to have nailed all the account management, in particular two-factor auth, for the 'microsoft accounts'. You don't appear to be able to search for items matching a given tag. Even more bizarre, they seem to be only visual labels. And only the ones that the people at MS thought you might think were important. So you have 'Definition' and 'Idea' (which thankfully is not 'Idea!') and 'To do priority 2'. There are tags, but they are canned and the user can't add their own tags. In fact, if you prefer tagging, look elsewhere. One Note will, however, appeal to people who prefer 'structuring' over 'tagging'. (Evernote has a fine export capability, fwiw). There is a 'Share as PDF' which is (a) not the same, and (b) broken for me because 'my email program is not set up properly' which is false. Most notable, there is no export functionality. Predictably, it does not play well others. Against my better judgment, I downloaded it and poked around.
