Outlook 2007

**richard** · 24th January 2007

I like the new version, I do think it runs slower than Outlook 2003 (using POP3) though. Not sure if there are tooo many category flag options now, I sort of liked just having a few

slower, doesn't make a noise when mail to non-inbox folder is received and ditto doesn't show a task tray notification!

Search is cr@p with Instant Search, and even worse without!

I just think it's a PITA that it's not free with SPLA Exchange any longer.

Can't they just remove the minimum number of posts required for a status? Or, just ban them from ever getting web host status when they spam like this?

Sounds good .. best sent out the thunder cats to sort it.

p.s. Outlook 2007 really sucks donkey if you have a reasonable amount of mail. Search is pants and returns nothing even after its spent 2 days syncing my IMAP folders...

Outlook has never been an acceptable IMAP client, mainly due to its insistent nature that IMAP should be treated the same as a POP style offline mailbox.

**burble** · 11th May 2007

And I can't believe that Outlook notes still have the same interface that they had in Office 97. ~100px square yellow popup windows with no scroll bars? I use them a lot on my PDA, and was hoping the latest update would make them a bit more useful when I sync it, but they're still virtually useless. I think the fact the text is still rendered in Comic Sans probably sums up the dev team's attitude towards them...

And as for post count spammers, just add a policy saying that if new members reply to a thread that's over a week old (without saying something that's extremely relevant and interesting) their accounts will be deleted.

Indeed, but since changing to Vista I had to find a new mail client (I'd used Outlook Express previously which IMO was great at IMAP). I'm still trialing The Bat at the moment 15 days in and I'm still happy so its looking good.

Thunderbird 2 has proven a welcome improvement. The OS X version is very pretty.

**burble** · 12th May 2007

I'd like to use Thunderbird - some of the extensions are exactly what I'm after - but it insists on getting the date from the Sent header, rather than Recieved, and there doesn't seem to be an option or an extension to persuade it otherwise. Unfortunately, due to the way I use my mail folders, it's a deal-breaker for me. Every time they release a new version I hopefully install it, only to find they still haven't changed it. I keep meaning to look into writing a patch/extension to fix it, but I never find the time.

By default Thunderbird 2 will take its message date information from the Date: header. This is usually set by your MUA/MTA Delivery Module when the message is received. With my Exim 4.x set-up this matches the last received line and is set by Exim.

**burble** · 12th May 2007

Ahh, yes, sorry for the confusion - Date is what I meant by Sent. I think that the Date header is set by the originating MTA to the time and date that the message was created; intermediate MTAs add their Received lines to the top of the e-mail, so the first Received line is the date and time that it arrives at the last MTA. That's the date and time that I want, and that's the one most mail clients seem to use - just not Thunderbird, for some reason.

**Cameron Gray** · 12th May 2007

Not according to the RFCs.

Received lines are added by every intermediate MTA correct, but the Date header is set by the MUA/Delivery modules.

The Instant Search stuff was horrid, slowed my machine to a crawl and wouldn't turn off, had to uninstall it!
