It baffles me that, in 2018, Outlook still doesn't make a desktop folder to keep opened files in rather than putting them in a six-deep hidden folder somewhere in AppData? Like, ok: email shouldn't be used as a file transfer or a versioning system but it's used that way just about everywhere I've seen or heard about? E: Same thing with the nicknames file (.nk2?), now that I think of it. IIRC that's where autocomplete gets stored which, for most users, is the only address book they have. Why is this not kept somewhere more permanent? EE: Like, it's been a fair few years since I've done direct support of MS Office users (although with my luck my next lovely job will be this ) but this was a constant source of a high single-digit percentage of calls. And it's completely unintuitive and broken and it's just never been fixed. Schadenboner fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Nov 12, 2018 |

Why is this not kept somewhere more permanent? uh what? it's stored in your exchange mailbox and has been for the last three versions if you're not using exchange, why the gently caress are you using outlook?

nk2 files were last used in office 2010, in conjunction with the autocomplete stream in exchange. you can still manually import them in the newer versions, but the autocomplete cache is part of your online mailbox now. also everyone you send a message to that isn't in your contacts gets added to "suggested contacts" afaik

tbh it was still broken as gently caress in 2010 and 2013, outlook still used a local cache file (it just wasn't an nk2 file any more) and there's a good chance of it never syncing to your mailbox. but in theory it works. i've never seen it fail in 2016, and no one has 2019 yet, so who knows.

Now that O365 (or %CLOUD_HOSTED_EXCHANGE% at least) has become the cheap option as well as the good option, a whole generation of techs will be spared the cock-hardening joy of troubleshooting Exchange 2003 in 2014.

it's still rickety as gently caress because outlook is made by clowns, but at least now there's nothing you can do to fix it

My favorite thing about outlook is how every IT department would shoot themselves in the foot by enforcing a tiny mailbox quota in exchange and encourage users to stick .PST files on networked home directories. https://support.microsoft.com/en-hk/help/297019/limits-to-using-personal-folders-pst-files-over-lan-and-wan-links oops

is there a way to hide the read receipt avatars in skype. it's super loving annoying having the messages in the chat window keep shifting around as the small avatars move down the chat history. constant small movements in the corner of my eye. all i can find on google is disabling my own read receipts and i don't really care about that, i don't want to see other people's read receipts.

I’m currently working for somewhere that insists on using Dropbox and Word Online, and I have to congratulate Microsoft on managing to make the lightweight, simplified online version of Word even more intensely lovely than the offline one. Its quite impressive really

why would they not just toss it on onedrive and use the full application? word online seems mostly fine, but an employer just locking you down to that seems monumentally stupid

Its quite impressive really um, yeah if you intentionally try to ice skate uphill things will be difficult. word online is 100% integrated with onedrive for reasons you can probably imagine, so either stop using word online, or use onedrive because otherwise you're just going to keep hammering your balls for no reason.

it's probably more of a "we already use dropbox and everything is on dropbox and the execs have finally puzzled out how to use dropbox" thing. which is reasonable, but then don't expect it to work with a competitor's cloud enabled product, because it ain't gonna and that's just technical debt you need to deal with
