Why does Outlook suck so much? - M A V I C - 11-15-2012
You'd think, after all these years, Microsoft would have copied or bought something better.
*sigh*
I have to use Outlook 2011 for Mac. A few issues I have with it are:
- Sometimes it treats attachements as embedded images. There's no option to preview, save, view full size versions of... the attached images. I just get thumbnails and have to right-click and save or drag & drop them into photoshop to see. These are jpegs.
- What is the easiest way to view headers? In Mail.app, there's just a button I click in the toolbar.
- Command+N changes what i does depending on if you're looking at your calendar or viewing email. How do I get it to just be new email?
- Quote level - there doesn't seem to be any quote levels when replying to emails. That makes it difficult to do inline responses, or see how a thread has gone... every other email app I've ever used did this - even the AOL email client in the mid 90's.
Anyone know how to fix these issues?

Does it involve a gun?

Nope...
I'll give you a hint... it doesn't involve using a Microsoft product, either.

Outlook works very well on the PC but it sucks on the Mac as it is not the same program. It is a warmed over Entourage, renamed to make Mac people "feel better."
See? MS cares for you.

Yeah, I like it on Win7 but have never had to use it on a Mac (did use Entourage back in the day)

I just use Microsoft Exchange Outlook Web Access when on Mac. It sux in different ways.

If it's a Microsoft mail product running on a Mac it's not the real Outlook.
Unless it's in a virtual environment running on a Windows session. Or maybe via CodeWeavers Crossover.
