You want to talk about wasting time? I have been using Outlook for quite some time. Over the last couple of months it has been slowing down to the point of being unusable. I tried everything I could find on the Internet and a couple of things did help temporarily, but performance was still not what it used to be. At the end of last week, it locked up for periods of up to 5 minutes! Once it happened while I was on a conference call waiting for an email from one of the attendees. I am using 2003 and my wife's Outlook 2007 is doing the same thing. This weekend I said goodbye to Outlook and set up Thunderbird with Lightning. Navigating Thunderbird is lightning fast and it has everything I use from Outlook. I transfered in all of my mail, calendar and contacts. There are even some things I set up in Thunderbird that I couldn't (or didn't know how to) do with Outlook. I would be interested to know how Mozilla can produce great products that work without the all of the controls to keep people from stealing them?
