Outlook horror stories
By Ben Patterson
(September 17, 2004)
Microsoft Outlook is the Jekyll and Hyde of the Microsoft Office suite. When Outlook is good, it's very good. But when it's bad, it's a horror show.

Yes, we love Outlook when it's reminding us of appointments, helping us schedule meetings, alerting us of e-mail from the big boss, and keeping us honest with our deadlines. But then with no warning our adorable little pal goes all psycho on us. Searches crash the system. We find ourselves buried alive in an Inbox that's out of room. And then there are those pernicious, pervasive, flesh-eating e-mail viruses. All too soon, our Outlook dream is a nightmare. And we can't wake up.

Each weekday this week, we'll tackle a scary Outlook nightmare. Our expert tips and downloads will help you chase away the Outlook gremlins hiding in your closet.
