Outlook sucks…

Maybe my KMail-rant was a little bit polemic (hey – it costs time! 8-)) [I’ll have a look at the source], but what really sucks is Outlook. Am I telling news? :o)

At work we still have two persons using Outlook. One at it’s own risk and the other one because importing in thunderbird didn’t work as expected ;-(

What’s the problem? One pst-file (a binary file from and for Outlook) crashed. I could recover the file using C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\System\MSMAPI\1031\pstscan.exe. Costs time, is quite thrilling (binary format for important files – argl!) but worked at least.

But what’s really stupid: one person changed her password on the server but did not recognize that also Outlook prompted for the new password. Due to the existence of multiple mail-accounts it was not clear enough which password should be entered ;-(. Ok – shouldn’t be a real problem, nor? But: Outlook prompted for password just once, when entering a wrong one it just switched to offline-mode. Which means you will never see the new mails – great! More than 20 days without checking mails on a account ;-( Hey, KMail is great!
