Outlook To Emacs

One of the most common complaints I see from Les Misérables who are stuck in a corporate environment mandating the use of the horrific Outlook for email is that it’s very difficult or impossible to deal with it from within Emacs. For those of us who feel that doing any text oriented task outside of Emacs is an imposition, that’s intolerable.

Patient_Chance_3795 over at the Emacs subreddit has a hint on how to deal with one aspect of the problem: registering an Azure app. Check out his post for a suggestion on how to deal with the issue.

The sad truth is that the main difficulty in dealing with Outlook is not the emails but the other functions such as calendar invites. As usual, Microsoft has made a point of ensuring that you have to use their software if you’re unlucky enough to be find yourself in their ecosphere.

Regardless, every little bit of help in escaping their maw is welcome. If you’d like to at least deal with emails in an Outlook environment, take a look at Patient_Chance_3795’s post.
