    Outlook 2007 Anonymous -- 29/05/06 (in reply to #120135171)

    I know new functionality seems to be essential with new versions, but I need something else.
    The Outlook range of tools is the core of any office and/or small business function, eg, e-mail, calendar, tasks, contact list, ie, none can function properly without them. Outlook doesn't seemed to have been upgraded fundementally since its very early versions, in that regard merely added bells and whistles. However, there are some serious shortcomings for such a core suite of tools.
    For me the most pressing are those related to the robustness of Outlook, and/or recovery when something goes wrong. A business can't function if the appointments made during today cannot be recovered, similarly with incoming and outgoing e-mails, tasks and contacts. Backup and repair, cannot currently be done incrementally, ie, you have to backup the whole file every time, ie, an end of day/week function. That file contains all the data from all the tools. If files need repair at the O/S level, it stuffs up archiving as the underlying file record modification date gets updated, and that is what Outlook archiving uses! General lack of robustness with regular shut downs, and file corruptions need to be greatly improved.
