Obligitory “I have to use it for my job,” so let’s commiserate.

It’s the worst program in all of the Office Suite. MS wrote the goddamn OS and email client, but for some reason if I have two instances open for two different inboxes and try to pull one up on the taskbar, the wrong instance will pull up every single time without fail.

My runner-up complaint is how when I use the search bar, sometimes it’ll forget what I’m doing and when I hit enter it’ll open some email instead of executing the search.

Every update makes it worse, so what drives you crazy?

    • Randomly removes email addresses I use every day from the auto-complete forcing me to type them literally in full for weeks until it remembers them again.
    • A colleagues name starts “tom…” but it ALWAYS auto-completes with another colleague “tim…”. Every single time.
    • Search sucks. Not sure if this particular complaint is just our company setup but for some reason it hides stuff older than a given date “on the server” which means you have to remember exactly where stuff is & open the folder before it displays the contents rendering search pointless. Absolutely hopeless

      search sucks

      The workforce where I work is diverse, so often it’s easier to find someone by their first name, but you’re not doing that in outlook’s address book when names are in “surname, given name” format

      Likewise when the address list was changed to “first name surname” you could no longer find someone with just their surname
