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?

    Setting up calendar events with reminders that never happen. At some point, they just stopped working for me.

      I tought that was me! This week I finally gave up on it, and started printing my calendar for the day. Welcome to 30 years ago I guess.

        I’ve been through pages of internet forums looking for a fix. The best advice I got was “set an alarm on your phone”. I finally just gave up on outlook’s calendar.

          Yeah, for work I also have the outlook app on the phone, and that’s even worse; some kind of overwatch policy prevents me from getting pop-ups reminding me which meeting I have, instead prompting me that I have a calendar event, and I should open outlook to see what it is. Then I have some additional hoops to jump through to actually view, so I gave up on that years ago. For now, a piece of paper it is.

      On the good side, when you miss a meeting because you’re working from home and you were making coffee at just the wrong time, everyone believes you when you say you didn’t get the notification

      But legit, even when notifications are working properly they don’t work well. They try to appear on top but will be behind anything that was opened as the notification triggered
