Outlook is stupid.

[Skywing]

Despite my having set my system to be in a non-DST timezone, Outlook felt the need to shift all of my calendar items over one hour, apparently expecting the system clock to get shifted too.  What a major nuisance...

My calendar is managed by Notepad.

Mine is managed by a mechanical pencil.

[Adron]

That sounds strange. I thought it'd store them in GMT, and then it wouldn't matter if you used DST or not, no need to ever shift anything...

[iago]

Well, there is technically a shift every time he reads them out of his calender and has to convert them to his local time

And we don't have the convenience of living within a couple hours of GMT, ~9 hours is a lot to use sometimes.

I do not use a calendar...I just hope I remember stuff. (I usually fail btw)

Outlook is stupid, at least to me, cuz... well, I want to keep my email.  I can't count the number of times I've had to refer back to emails a year or more past.

That said, when I'm downloading email, the computer nearly stops responding as (apparently) Outlook continually has to resize its data store.  All I can hear is my hard drive clattering nonstop, and occasionally my laptop fan turns on just from checking my email.

It's somewhat ridiculous.

[iago]

I've never had any of those problems.  Outlook keeps my email, and downloads emails just fine.

I don't have Outlook; and Outlook Express has been a security pain the past, so I use Thunderbird.
