Exchange Outlook Client replacement

@momurda said in Exchange Outlook Client replacement:
I am currently using 5 email accounts and 10! calendars in Outlook 2010, no issues ever except for the Dynamics CRM plugin which is garbage. On prem exchange, but 2 of the mailboxes i have setup in outlook are O365
And most of the calendars are near empty1 email account is 1.5 TB of data with 7 years of archives (and yes the archives are searched for old client data on a regular basis so they need to be tied to it locally).
another is 80 gigs the rest are pretty small -
OK - Outlook is having an issue with the number of accounts (I gotta believe that it's related to the caching, but what do I know).
What about App V? Now I don't think normal people can get access to App V (I think requires Volume License and other things) and I have NO clue what it takes to build one or use it, etc.
So what if we make it a little simpler - A VM with Office installed inside it? Then the user can have two copies of Outlook running side by side, one with 4 accounts and one with 3.
Yes there will be licensing costs, but to solve the issue, it might be worth it.
Additional VMs can be created if 4 or 3 accounts can't co-exist in a single copy of Outlook.

another is 80 tb's the rest are pretty smallterabytes? That is a crazy stupid amount of email. I really hope that our not really technical @Minion-Queen screwed that up.

oops should have said gigs on the 80 one the 1.5 TB is right though

@Minion-Queen OH. Dear god. I almost had a heart attack.

That's better and more believable

I have 5 Exchange accounts in my Outlook 2016 locally and I consistantly have problems. I barely use one calendar.

Isn't there a way to run Outlook in some sort of container on the desktop to split up multiple copies of it without needing a full VM with a full additional operating system for it?

Yeah, it's call App-V.

That is what @Dashrender jsut suggested with App-V. But that is not something small to setup.

Well... that taking forever is kinda a given for some reason.

Check out Nylas N1, as well.
