Asked intelligent questions, dug into the problem. Amazingly, I got a knowledgeable person right away. Outlook frequently solicits feedback and claims to offer support, but I have learned not to expect any support from Microsoft. Was having an issue with a Google account that seemed to be an Outlook issue. Never wrote a review before today though. Every email platform has its plusses and minuses, for me Outlook has always worked better than other options. Have used Outlook forever on various platforms. So, Microsoft, if you would just fix this issue that only exists in the macOS app store version of Outlook, I'd love to increase your rating to 5 stars. It really is unfortunate to read important emails later than I otherwise would because I don't see that there are unread emails in my inbox until opening an app window. I've verified that this is not an issue with my settings, by double, triple, and quadruple checking that badge notifications are turned on. But on the macOS app store version, even though I have my settings configured to give Outlook max notification priviledges and badge notifications are turned on, badges don't update until I open the app - then all of the sudden I'll see the red circle letting me know that I have 6 unread emails. When I used Outlook downloaded directly from Microsoft's website, and on my iPad and iOS Outlook apps, notification badges work perfectly well. For some reason, notification badges (the little red circle that pops up on the apps icon when there are unread emails) doesn't work in the macOS App Store version. ![]() There is one issue, however, that makes me rank it four stars instead of five. I would absolutely recommend this app to anyone who asked. ![]() I use it to manage multiple email accounts, and it's wealth of features and integration with other Microsoft 365 software keep me using it. Outlook is an absolute powerhouse of an email client. By installing the app, you agree to these terms and conditions. See “License Agreement” link under Information.
