   emotional toll to figure out MS365 may break me. No one likes not understanding things and feeling of being dumb at first is an uncomfortable part of the path of learning. But when you finally "get it" and realize - oh, the reason I wasn't understanding this is not because I'm dumb but because the way they do this is FUCKING RETARDED...it should give some modicum of relief, but no, it mostly leaves me spent. Fuck I hate this product. And yes, I know not a PC sentence, ask me if I care </rant>

     @econproph @sleslie I have a client that offers mindfulness courses to academics. For the universities to pay for the staff, they have to use their academic email when signing up. They are on M365. Getting important emails delivered for course information is a constant state of despair, despite DKIM, DMARC, SPF, safe senders list, because the emails get trapped in the quarantine folder, and recipients don't know about it. No other service is this problematic.

     Office has always been that way, but now, with the shift to MS365 as a subscription & cloud thing, it's really been weaponized.

     No sooner do you think you've finally figured out how to do something - and bam! they just change it on the fly. No guarantees that yesterday's method will work today.

     Yes, it's that bad.
