Search in Outlook 12 - "It changes the way you work"

I like the way I work, so I REALLY hope there is a way to turn off the indexing.

I expect the additional space* and the regular CPU spike will not be worth it to me - I don't mind a 5 minute find of an obscure email, it gives me a moment for a coffee or bathroom break (or I bring something else to the forground and work on it while I wait).

Also, I hope you'll have an option to strip the html out of an email ("Save as Plain Text", "Reply As Plain Text", etc.).

* = Yes, hard drives ARE cheap - but the bigger stuff is, the bigger the PAIN in the rear it is to keep a backup.
My personal .pst file contains 12 months of data which hovers around 250-300MB with tens of thousands of files (attachments removed)
At work it is worse... I have to use Lotus Notes; which helps me appreciate Outlook almost daily (not an exaggeration).

I am a big fan of Search Folders in Outlook 2003. I hope that searches in Outlook 12 will be able to be saved as Search Folders.

The biggest issue we have with Outlook search in our company currently is inability to search within several public folders, or a tree of public folders at once. I wonder if that is going to be supported... Regards.

A minor annoyance I have with Outlook is that one can't (or I haven't managed to figure out how to...) keep a search in place while browsing other folders. For example, I'd like to be able to search a subfolder of my inbox, refer to another subfolder, and then go back to my search results. It could, for example, be implemented such that predefined Search Folder could hold the results of the most recent search performed.

If some functionality exists to cater for this need, please do let me know.

Thanks

Consistant UI with other Office apps?

ckelsoe — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 16:40:31 GMT

I am wondering why Outlook does not have a consistant interface with the other key Office 12 apps? Where is the ribbon? I see this causing confusion with users having to switch between the ribbon for some office apps and the standard interface for Outlook.

Stationary in Outlook 2007

JessW — Fri, 02 Jun 2006 10:16:35 GMT

I've noticed that there's nowhere in outlook 2007 where you can create your own stationary like 2003. Also when others send me e-mail with their custom stationary from outlook 2003 it shows as an attachment and doesn't display the stationary header. Anyone else noticed this?

What happens if you have 2 Outlook profiles?

I've used 2 OL profiles for years - one for work and one for personal mail. What happens to the search/indexing if I switch between these?

Thx!

I have been having a problem with sending email with outlook via aol (imap/smtp). I am getting the error (535 authentication failed). i have called aol and they are insistant that the problem lies with outlook. When I called outlook "help" they said they have no support (yet) for the beta version. I just encountered this problem a few days ago .. it was working fine before. Again, I can receive .. but not send. The ports I am using are 143 and 587 (imap/smtp respectively). I tried to let the new outlook configure by itself but it could not .. it tried encrypted and unencrypted and was not successful at it. Please help! anyone.

To be honest, interface aside, the new search function is a step backwards IMHO in that there is overly limited control over where you can search and what is indexed.

Where is the ability to specify which folders to index or *not* to index?

Where is the ability to search additional exchange accounts?

Where is the ability to limit the search to this folder and its sub folders?

I just came to know that you guys have taken the stupidest decision of replacing the IE-based HTML engine with the Word one. Goodbye Outlook.

WHAT ABOUT THE RENDERING ENGINE? !!!!

skynarc — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 17:10:41 GMT

Everyone is hearing about the MS Word Rendering engine which will be used in this version of Outlook.

It SERIOUSLY affects many people's businesses who send out email newsletters on a daily basis.

As yet, I have found no answers on this blog as to why this is being done and the only reasons I could find was on this blog:

http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/archives/2007/01/microsoft_takes_email_design_b.html

And he is right, the only real issue we can see is a security issue which was meant to be fixed in IE7 surely, and which would surely have meant that the next version of Outlook would use the IE7 engine?

Everyone's been looking forward to better CSS support for email newsletters but this step by Microsoft is a massive leap...backwards!

What does this mean for embedded content such as Flash swf files etc?

Instant search is great.. but it misses things.

For example, it doesn't index the contents of calendar entries (the 'message' field), but only the subject line, and I can't find a way to turn it on. As I have stuff in my calendar going back three years that I need to search daily, this is a major problem. I've tried looking for tick boxes to turn it on, but can't find anything. I'm about to install Google desktop search to see if that will do the job. Or I may revert to Outlook 2003 with the Lookout addin.

Has anyone tried using the new Map addin for outlook? I cant say about anywhere else, but my first impressions using it for London are its terrible, completely awful.

It cant find anything in London, not even tube stations. It forces you to get directions which again are awful and assume you use a car when the vast majority of londoners use public transport to get in, around and out of london. When all you want to do is just link to a map of the appointment location. Which I just can not find a quick and simple way to do!

what does anyone else think?

Ian.

Good to hear that people are working to simplify Outlook. I think every effort to make it simpler and more user-friendly is a step in the right direction. Improvements are long overdue. I can't wait to get my hands on the new version!

It's really nice to see how Outlook becomes better and better from version to version.
