Outlook on Mac
Authored by: eduo on Jul 24, '02 03:16:15PM

Well. This wouldn't be a problem is there was a simple e-mail client for MacOSX. I was very happy when Outlook 2001 was released for 9 back in the time, it showed care. Now it's been over a year and not even the simplest of ports has been released. The MacBU at MS doesn't even deal with Outlook so there's no help and no plans or announcements have been made.

Outlook is the only reason I run Classic now, and it shows, the application crashes, freezes and is downright annoying. Lately it has decided it won't show the Global Addressbook for the corporation, which is the whole point for using Outlook besides the shared calendar. If I could make Entourage (let alone Apple Mail) with Exchange and with all the features (calendar, etc.) I would trash Outlook in a second.

I had found the problem with the printer a while ago, indeed. I hadn't thought of sharing it because I thought it was obvious, my apologies.

Outlook may be unstable if you use Outlook from a PC & Mac (both). I do at work and they had to do something to the data on the exchange server to get my Outlook to stop crashing on my 8.6 Mac.

(When it was crashing, it did so CONSTANTLY.)

Also, you don't have to reboot into 9 to set up the chooser. Just open Outlook and go to the Apple menu as usual.
