My ultimate academic triumph is figuring out how to never use Outlook while being a faculty member at two different universities that require it

Apple Mail and Calendar now seem to work with our Exchange server even with our WSU security setup (before, they didn't).

Not a fan but those do work for us

same! fortunately my institution accommodates faculty idiosyncrasies (not a med school).

"idiosyncrasies" makes it sound like a choice of software is a quirk rather than a rational decision surrounding one's ability to work efficiently and in a way that doesn't lead to blowing one's brains out

oh i totally agree, it just seems like most places value structure over efficiency. I can see my exchange calendar in my apple calendar but apparently this is rare.
