Outlook Still sucks

Posted by Michael Mon, 10 Sep 2007 11:33:00 GMT

Somehow, I think through my excellent magic skills, I’ve managed to have NEVER used Microsoft Outlook. I’ve been designing systems since 1995 and never, ever used it in production anything for my own email account.

It’s been a few years since I even tested it…

I’m designing a system for a client and I setup a Windows XP box inside VMWare and installed Outlook. On starting it for the first time, I got 90% of the way though the new mail wizard and Outlook crashed. When I try to start it again, it gives me a “cannot open mail stores” and exits.

Yep, fresh XP install (patched of course), new Outlook install.

Completely useless.

I don’t know how you Windows admins even wake up and go to work in the morning, I really don’t.
