...It can receive messages from the future!
haha, that just shows how annoyingly slow and laggy outlook is. It takes forever to start up and always freezes etc for me, and I wouldn't exactly call my computer slow
As I result, I now use Windows Live Mail, which is fairly fast, has a nice UI, and works very nicely with Windows Live Messenger.
There is a really annoying bug in Outlook when you use IMAP access to your account and you are on a slow internet connection. While an IMAP command is being performed, Outlook will just lock up, stop, freeze, dead. And if your connection just died, or is being really slow, and Outlook decides to do a 'send and receive' you can be sat there for 5 minutes waiting for the command to finish. Sometimes it doesn't and the program just crashes. Ironically since I stopped using my 3G dongle and now use home broadband, I don't have crashes near as often as I used to. Pretty sad that an app can get hung up simply because of the speed or reliability of one's connection...
