User Reviews

Microsoft Outlook Lite is appreciated for being a lightweight, faster email app supporting multiple accounts and providing good security. However, users frequently complain about persistent prompts to add accounts or enable SMS, a disruptive cursor jump bug during email composition, and occasional loading failures. Account lockouts requiring phone verification are common frustrations. The app suffers from poor spam filtering, unwanted ads in the inbox, and limited SMS functionality. Font size restrictions and complicated email deletion processes further detract from the user experience.

Pros

Lighter and faster than the full Outlook app, especially on low-end devices.
Supports multiple email accounts fairly well.
Offers a good mobile interface for quick email access.
Consumes less storage space compared to the full Outlook app.
Provides decent security features for email accounts.

Cons

Frequent annoying prompts to add other email accounts or enable SMS, with no 'never ask again' option.
Cursor jumping issue when composing emails, disrupting typing experience.
App sometimes fails to load emails or displays empty inbox until fully connected.
Multiple problems with account lockouts requiring phone number verification, which users find intrusive and problematic.
Slow performance and instability, including freezing or incomplete loading of mail content.
Presence of ads within the inbox that look like unread emails, causing accidental clicks.
Limited or poor support for SMS features and no ability to handle images in SMS.
Spam filtering is inadequate, with recurring spam and phishing emails bypassing filters.
Difficulty adjusting font size, with default small fonts making reading difficult.
Issues deleting emails and files properly, requiring multiple steps and confirmations.

I didn't get which part is lite, especially using more than one account. It is slow. And the best parts of the real outlook is sacrificed.... Edit after quite some time. It's not getting any better than the full outlook app

Ok, A bit slow now. Used to be quicker than the full outlook app which is why I switched. They now are sneaking ADs in your emails to look like unread emails rather than just having the AD at the top of your list of emails. Yes they will have more AD clicks, and 100% will be accidental clicks.
