I've been using Thunderbird for 20 years but after their horrible redesign with supernova decided to downloaded to the latest build of Outlook.

 

I like the layout but the client just seems very lite with not many options. Customization of email signatures is a big thing for me, with tbrid I could link to an html file, can't do that in outlook or add html manually. I can add a table but can't get rid of the borders... I've googled how to do this gto no avail.

 

Any recommendations for not awful email clients I should try out?

Who is your email provider? Sounds like you're using the outlook app but not outlook as a provider?

The biggest issue I found with the new Thunderbird was all email accounts showed expanded folders and not just the inbox.

 

A solution is to use Favourite folders:

 

Favourite Folders
EMAIL 1
Inbox
EMAIL 2
Inbox
EMAIL 3
Inbox
All Folders
> EMAIL 1
> EMAIL 2
> EMAIL 3

Outlook uses an old HTML render, not the modern Chromium. It's based on Word, of all things.

 

If you go to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures, you will find the signature files there, including html, rtf and txt versions you can manually edit.

The Signatures folder doesn't exist in that location, I tried making it manually and copying in an html file but it didn't work 😥

Yes its a gmail account. This worked in tbird so I assumed it would work the same in outlook.

The location is different depending on which version of Windows. Also, when you say Outlook client you mean the new free Outlook, the one from the Microsoft Store? 

 

Outlook for Windows - Microsoft Apps
