caddymanI know that the Department switched to Outlook for its email because the old GroupWise application is no longer supported, but did it have to be Outlook? It’s all very well and all very familiar, but it really is rubbish at some things. Setting rules is a clunky business and checking alternative email accounts requires logging off the account you’re in and logging into the new one. Or so I’m told, anyway.
That means that I can’t check our generic housing finance email box and haven’t been able to for several months. In the end, I gave up and have taken every opportunity to delete references to it in any of our documentation. The trouble is, it does mean that we now have to have a named contact point, which means that during consultation periods the poor sap can be deluged by emails instead of planning their work.
I just get peed off that Microsquash applications are the default nowadays, when there has to be something out there that does the job better.
GroupWise for instance.
