Default Why isn't OL2007 e-mail more like Google Mail?

To me I'd expect these as absolute minimums in a 2007 email program:
- can handle multiple email addresses easily-peasily (eg without crashing)

Sure it can. It's a beta version though so crashes are to be expected.

- can handle these with dedicated folders in order to keep mail separate
and distinct rather than relying on a bundle if not quite so effective
Rules to do so

Rules generally work

- can handle chat rooms, forums and news groups equally easily-peasily

Outlook is targeted at business customers with Exchange server. No need
for chat rooms, forums and news groups for those, especially because you
can get a lot of that functionality with other MS products that
integrate into Outlook, but with strict corporate control.

- Calendar handling should make it easy to identify duplication should
any arise (especially given that phome, PDA, laptop, workstation, server
may have the same (mostly) appointments. Identifying dupes easily
whould be a non-demanding operation

Use the send a smile tool to submit this as suggestion.

- orchestrating input/output, import/export from a variety of media
should also have a pleasant and unambiguous workflow

Like what media?

Hi CJSNet,

Be sure to send your Office 2007 suggestions, comments and feedback on what you do like or what you find difficult to use directly
to the MS Office Product team by using the 2007 feedback tool from the link below.

The tool allows you to send screenshots and descriptions. Be sure to include information on what having a changed feature would
enable you to do better, faster, easier and if it's something you'd use daily, once in awhile, etc.

You are kidding, right?


No, because the two feature suggestions I made are very good ones.

You do make a couple of good feature suggestions


Thanks, that's all I was trying to do. Next step is to get MS to recognise
them.
