OUTLOOK
Is there a single person on the planet that actually likes Outlook?

It's slow. Hogs CPU whenever it's most inconvenient. The find utility is the slowest crap I think I've ever seen.

Outlook Express is infinitely better for finding emails. I can get results in seconds with that. Outlook? Not a chance. Start the find, enter as much specific information as possible to limit the search, then take a vacation.

Thunderbird is also a lot faster at finding things. Click. Type. Click. Results. Simple, easy, quick.

What is it with Outlook? You've got to pay to use it! It's not free. And it still can't beat anything free. Even Microsoft's own free stuff is better.

Then there's the *.msg email format. AAARRRGGGHHH! You can save an email as *.txt, but it strips the fucking headers! A normal, standard, everyday, boring *.eml file would be greatly appreciated. Nope. Can't do it.

Ever try looking at headers in Outlook? Complicated, slow, and the viewing space is barely a chiclet.

The ONLY reason I use Outlook is because everyone at the office is forced to use it. It's not a solution to a problem. It is the fucking problem.

4 words to sum it up: I FUCKING HATE OUTLOOK.

Re: OUTLOOK

i use outlook. why? er, i don't know. probably because i do very little with it. i read email then delete it or stick in a folder that's about as advanced as i get. pretty fucking dumb i guess.

so, how about this: what about all the fucking idiots out there (including me) that have software that is completely overpowered for the jobs that the user does with it.

you know who you are. got photoshop but you still haven't figured out what a layer mask is for. got ms word but you may as well be using notepad to keep all your fucking ms messenger conversations safely stored. yeah, yeah, i can't think of anything else but i know there must be millions of other programs that people don't really need.

heh, heh, i'm a greedy bastard so i know what it's like having software that is really complex and does a shit load of 'cool' stuff but never gets used other than for me to rub myself up and down the computer monitor getting all horny like - yeah, it's a powertrip.

Re: OUTLOOK
Outlook is overpowered for most things that people need, and then for the rest, it's massively underpowered. Storing information? Huh? Like what the fuck is that? RDBMS - that's all there is to it. Access is better than Outlook. I can't stand how people try to store shit in Outlook and think that it's useful. Like a fucking list of a trillion "notes" will ever be useful. Stupid concept with a stupid implementation.

A more realistic way to keep track of 'real' information is to create an MS SQL database and then drop an Access ADP on top to access and update that information. Why people don't get that is beyond me. Flat files suck ass and any IT admin that thinks storing real information in a flat file is a good idea should be fired.  Outlook isn't a way to store information. Databases exist for a reason. (AAARRRGGGHHH!)

But I know what it's like to use overpowered software. For a lot of things that I do it's necessary. I use some software to do some tasks that other software just can't do. But it has so much more functionality that I don't use. It still nice to have options though.

As for rubbing myself up against the monitor... Well... Not quite there yet .

Re: OUTLOOK

GOD FUCK! I FUCKING HATE OUTLOOK!

Will somebody at Microsoft PLEASE kick the Outlook team's ass?

Why do I hate Shitlook? Hmmm... Maybe because of shit like this:

Outlook crashes at startup

JESUS! This is not an uncommon problem. Just search for "outlook crashes at startup".

If there's a problem when Outlook starts, why the fuck can't Outlook fix the damn thing before it proceeds to crash? Ahem... It's called, "error checking". Perhaps you guys on the Outlook team have heard of it?

God knows I'm a die hard MS fan. But that doesn't mean that MS doesn't turn out some real shitware... 

Then once I've finally got the son-of-a-bitch working... I've got 30,781 fucking emails to download! And I haven't even got half of my email accounts working yet! That's just 2 of them! This is going to be a mother-fucker of a day...

Re: OUTLOOK
SHITLOOK crashed on me serveral times until a day it did not restart.

The email database in their shitty proprietary format was corrupted.

Called Microshit support, no luck.

I lost my email database.

Since then and because of too many issues with Microshitwares I have made some changes:
Trashed Outlook, Outlook express => Thunderbird
Trashed Wordk, Excel => OpenOffice
Trashed Access, MS SQL Server => MySQL
Trashed .Net => Pure DHTML, JavaScript, Ajax

The only shit I cannot yet drop is Shitdows because I have some customers who require me to use some shitware from shitel (Nortel) that runs only on Shitdows.

I no longer hate Shitllook cause I don't fucking care about it anymore.

Re: OUTLOOK
GOD FUCK SHIT DAMN ASS-LICKING SHIT-SNORTING MOTHER-RAPING BROTHER-BUGGERING FATHER-FELCHING GOD FUCK JESUS RAPE DEAD BEARS BUTT PIRATE FUCKWADS!

I am way fucking beyond pissed with Outlook. FUCK. I'm about to quit this shitty job because we have to use that fucking garbage...

The latest episode...

I get HUNDREDS of emails a day. And those aren't the spams either. I have more than 1 email account to monitor. And after that fucking debaucle that cost me about 3.5 days to recover, I'm not in the fucking mood to deal with more Outlook bullshit.

This time, I notice that I'm not getting an email. A specific email in a specific account. Everything is setup as it SHOULD be, including 1 Exchange account. Yep - that's the one where I'm not getting email. Then after setting up the account as POP3 - Shitlook still won't fucking download the fucking email.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!

HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO WRITE AN EMAIL CLIENT AND EMAIL SERVER THAT WORKS?



I only WISH that I had the option to ditch Outlook. And I'm very envious that you have that luxury...

AAARRRGGGHHH~~~!!!
