You left out my pet peeve. I have two MS exchange email accounts. I can only set up one per computer. Outlook only allows one. I can tolerate this on my BlackBerry but on my desktop? I must switch computers or use the sub-optimal web browser version of MS exchange to access the second account, depending which computer I\'m on.

(Without your email looking like shit.) * Further, it is impossible to add keyboard shortcut for pasting unformatted text. (See below) And just to make damn sure it remains impossible, there is no command for this in built in macro language, so even a determined nerd like myself can\'t create a keyboard macro. * In Outlook 2003 there is no way to paste unformatted text. Pasting in a line from anywhere else (like the browser) will leave you with that line looking different than the rest (and you looking like an idiot). Even worse, after pasting there is no way remove all the formatting on a text so that it matches a normal message composition. Only solution is to first paste into notepad, then copy-n-paste again into message. # 12. Impossible to remove formatting from a reply * If you are composing a reply to an email and want to remove formatting (bold, italic, etc..) the ctrl-space command doesn\'t work. It should reset you to the normal format (blue Calibri font), but instead it gives you a totally different format (black Times New Roman). This is especially bad since it is so damn hard to paste text without formatting. (See above)

You\'re at a crowded holiday cocktail party and engaged in conversation about politics. Oh, first a little backstory: For the last week you\'ve been thinking of buying the new Blackberry phone. Back at the party, you suddenly realize that the people behind you are talking about Blackberries. Involuntarily, your attention shifts to that conversation. What does this have to do with the web? It\'s the problem of information overload again. Before your attention shifted, you were able to concentrate on your conversation even though your ears were recieving input from all the other conversations. This magic is known as the cocktail party effect. Most scientists focus their research on how this is possible, but I\'m more fascinated by the shifts in attention that comes when something \"interesting\" is said in a non-attended conversation. This is a great example of your brain manages limited attention resources.

It\'s always copying formatting I don\'t want. * It takes four clicks and a dialog box to do paste text without the original formatting. Horribly frustrating when you\'re trying to copy text from the browser as a quotation in an email. (Without your email looking like shit.) * Further, it is impossible to add keyboard shortcut for pasting unformatted text.

7. Mysterious selection of address for recipient (Outlook 2003) * Once a name is recognized (God knows when that magically happens), and the person has multiple addresses, you don\'t know which one it picked. (Because it never shows email addresses) You have to double-click the name to find out what it picked.

56. Almost impossible to get at an actual email address. (Outlook 2007) * E.g. I\'m trying to email a list of addresses for an invite. As a shortcut, I type \"paul\" in the send field, wait for it do be auto-corrected to his Contact entry, then try to copy and paste the address out. But impossible to copy and paste it into message, it only copies his name part.

un-searchable

Who wants Archiving? * Outlook wants to \"Archive\" my old messages, making them un-searchable and out of my normal flow. I just bought a 1 Terabyte disk for $200 and Outlook wants to erase or specially compress my email? What century are they in? Are disks so expensive in Redmond that MS Employees need to pay careful attention to how much space their email takes? Last I checked, GMail and even Hotmail give 5 gigabytes for free. Making old messages un-searchable is unforgivable.
