Sorry, I have a choice of Outlook 2000 or Lotus Notes at work. I have no love for the two especially since they can't do what want (it has something to do with their filters). Yes, we really are that far behind when it comes to e-mail clients. They keep Lotus Notes up to date but Outlook is still a decade old, it runs slower, it isn't fully compatible with our e-mail server, etc. So I have no love for it right now. However, my gripes against the two mainly have to do with the crappy calendar that Notes has, the basic functionality of Outlook, and the fact that neither can filter out the e-mails that I don't want.
I get over a dozen e-mails that are sent to everyone in the building and they have absolutely nothing to do with me. One e-mail had to do with an article in the NY Times about mothers being treated unfairly in the work environment. I am not a mother, I am not female, and I don't care. It didn't affect my job in any way, shape, or form. That e-mail sat in my account overnight and ended up filling my inbox. We only have 250MB for our e-mails, that isn't a whole lot by the time you add in 15MB attachments.
I want to filter those e-mails out while still accepting the good e-mails sent to everyone (like ones about meetings, safety training, etc.). Neither e-mail client can do that for me so I don't like them. Instead I have to check my e-mail 20 times a day to delete all of the incoming crap.
