Do you like the heftiness of the 40 over the Rebel? Felt to me like I had more power

Ever used Lotus Notes? Don't it will make you gag or worse yet be the next one on the WWW throwing his PC or beating it with a sledge hammer.

My current client uses Lotus Notes. I totally hate it. It's counter to everything I like about Outlook. Thankfully, I don't have to use it much.

The powers that be installed it at work a few years ago, not a dang good thing I can say about it.

Hehe. The heft does make it feel more solidly built. It makes a difference when the mirror flips up, too. I don't feel the mirror as much in this one. Feels rock solid, very nice.

Notes sucks. I'm stuck with it at work, and even the latest versions are backwards. I occasionally make the mistake of hitting F5 to refresh and log myself out. PITA..

I'm looking forward to seeing you put it through its paces, Mike. With what you were able to draw out of the Rebel I foresee some fantastic images in the very near future.

I have to have the e-mail alert enabled. PITA when I'm working on a spread sheet and the dang thing interrupts and pulls me out of the window I was working in. Especially bad if I'm in the middle of a cut/copy and paste.

Time to get ready for work. Catch on the office side. TGIF.

The thing I hate about Notes is not being able to flag messages as "read". I hate reading the email in the preview window, and then having to double click on it to get it to know I've actually read the email.

Good Day Everybody.

Well, I seem to be the latest one with computer woes. My desktop is having major issues. Yesterday, right upon completing the download of a huge email, and even before it showed in my inbox, Outlook froze. I am unable to get in to it now, it says something about the .pst file not loading right. I tried doing a system restore to the night before to no avail. If the issue is to do with the email that was downloading I don't understand, because I never got a chance to open it at all. Besides, when I look online, I see my architect was emailing me prints at the time, though it was only a 1.3M file, I think I am going to leave it shut down and take it in to be looked at. I am way to busy to mess with it, and don't want to screw things up worse. I sure how I don't lose everything in Outlook. I am not sure the .pst file is backed up or not. I do have all the contacts, schedule stuff, and tasks synced to my phone, so only email is really affected. I can go back a few weeks to all my accounts online though.

Lots of fun, eh?

Jim. Can you access your email box through a webmail page at all? Maybe if you clear it there, then the Outlook side will sort itself out?

yea pc's are smart

hi fellas

I'm not sure I get the connection.

And your confusion confuses me, too.

Outlook is a crappy Microsoft email and calendar program we've been using at work for longer than I'd care to think about. I wouldn't let that piece of s#!+ software reside on a hard drive I personally own. Are we talking about the same thing, here?

You said you'd used it for years at work and then said you wouldn't use it yourself. I didn't get why. Now I get it, "It's a piece of s#!+ software."

With no viable alternative. I get it.

Now you've got it. Outlook's all that will sync with my Pocket PCs (that I've found), but I only use it for calendar really. OE does mail so much better than anything else I've found (including the Mozillas) for rule handling and coping with server restores.

I can't access the Outlook file, and on the webmail page for that account, it does not show any emails that could cause any trouble.

Tried the Inbox Repair Tool? AKA Scanpst?
