Nope, 2007 sucks (all of it). Why they removed the menus we’ve been using for YEARS is beyond me. There’s not even the option to use the classic menus unless you want to buy an addin. I’m tired of this Mickey Mouse big button MAC shit. OpenOffice time.

I’ve turned off the Reading pane for the Inbox, but every time I create a new folder and switch to it, the dang thing is back ON. Is there any way to turn it off for EVERY folder?

Hi: I’ve been an avid user of Journal in Outlook 2003. In 2007 I am not able to link a journal entry to a Contact. By the way, I like to manage my journals from one screen, not from within each contact’s record. What am I missing??

THANKS!

Hi Chris,

I was just wondering why on earth might you have other ‘Where is the Save Image As control in the preview pane of Microsoft Outlook 2007?’ content in “* Google Maps Add-In for Outlook”?! But since you say so on your web site, I’ll be sure to check it out.

Just installed MS Office 2007 and all is OK as far as I can see apart from
I cannot find the Office shortcut bar, I know it was left out in previous versions but though it was going to be included in 2007.
If it is included can someone advise on how to install it.

[...] I'll report when things work well too. For instance, Chris Pirillo used to really bag on Outlook (his bashes of Outlook are legendary). But look at his post "Outlook 2007 Might Not Suck!" [...]

The good thing about it was that it confgured itself to use Gmail adn that alone to me was worth the upgrade.

[...] I don’t know. I’m still a Windows guy because there’s something to be said about the power of Microsoft. Some find that power scary, but I find that power comforting - with power, generally comes ubiquity. Of course, you couldn’t tell that with my two posts today on Office 2007 and Windows Vista Beta 2!

Couple of comments:

Chris – you can tell Outlook to mark a sender as okay to display images by right clicking an email from them, going to Junk Email, and selecting Add Sender to Safe Sender’s List.

Your comments about the RSS functionality are right on target, but I assume that this may be tweaked before final release since this is one of the newest features in Outlook. (crossing my fingers)

Your comment about the Folder list and the All Folders heading right underneath it … while I too can see the redundancy, I think this stems from the fact that the navigation pane uses the same control throughout, regardless of which “section” you’re viewing (i.e. mail, calendar, etc.). The other sections all allow you to set up your own groups, which add more of the same type of header as the All Folders one.

A reader posted a comment regarding Find and Replace when sending a message… since there is no more “outlook” create message window (Outlook 2007 always uses Word, no option anymore), Find and Replace works again in the send email window.

Hi! As you see I am from Russia. I upgrade my Office 2003 Rus SP1 directly to Office 2007 Beta 2 and it is no problem. After creation of standard default folders (s.a. Inbox, Outbox etc.) Office 2007 Beta 2 still working with Russian folders and all settings of Office 2003 are remaining. I am not a guru master in all around Microsoft Office, and still not understand where all information goes from headers me downloading instead whole message!? The headers look EMPTY!!! Just empty fields with only icon of header of a message. Any idea?

I meant to say, Outllok calendar with my stylesheet.

Loaded Outlook2007 and was not able to use until I deleted my msn premiun settings from Outlook 2003 and reconnected, then I was able to start Outlook. However, my contacts and calendar was not imported and I still have not found a way to import them from my msn account

Additionally, I would like Outlook to export the html for the calendar to the way you set it within the program when you save it as a webpage. I have to make sure I save my style sheet is in another folder and replace the one they output to get the formatting I need and want. This can be a hassle if you are constantly making changes and uploads.

A sample of the calendar with my template is at http://imbrotherhood.org/calendar/may_dec2005.htm the new calendar exports the same way as the old and looks no formatting changes.

Still examining, I need those contacts and my calendar, from my msn premium account!
