Let’s Really Fix Outlook
The Email Standards Project, backed by CampaignMonitor
and other email-marketers, is using Twitter to convince
Microsoft to change how Outlook renders HTML.
Outlook's broken - Let's fix it
FixOutlook is not about fixing areas where Outlook
is broken (and there are many) - its solely about making it easier
for email marketers to design email so that it has all the bells and
whistles found on web pages and works perfectly in all email
clients.
Focusing on the end-user experience is more important. I want
Microsoft to fix what's really broken so end users, not email marketers, can be
more productive. To that end, I set up a forum where everyone can
share what they'd really like to see fixed in Outlook 2010.

Appointment times randomly move by 2 - 8
minutes
We're seeing complaints about Outlook adding (or subtracting)
2 - 8 minutes to new appointments. For example, if an
appointment is created for 10:00 to 11:00 AM, it's changed to
10:02 to 11:02 AM. Users may also receive an error message that
the message is not recurring and they need to close all open
items.
This is not a bug in Outlook, its caused by the
anti-spam module from CA Security Suite 2008. Disabling or
uninstalling the anti-spam module will fix it.
Fixed: iPhone and Disappearing Appointments
There is a problem with iPhone v2 software syncing with
Outlook where the events created on the device are only visible
in a table view, not Day/Week/Month view.
When new appointments are entered into the iPhone they're set
as repeating in Outlook but contain no data and Outlook doesn't
know what to do with them. To fix, open the event on the iPhone
and change it to recurring daily then end the recurrence on the
date of the event before syncing.
A hotfix for Exchange server is available. See
Some recurring calendar items disappear
from the "Day/Week/Month" view in Outlook when a user uses Exchange
ActiveSync on a mobile device to modify a recurring meeting in an Exchange
2003 environment

Outlook 2003 and MIME Error
If you use Outlook 2003 you may have noticed some
messages have the header in the message body, often when you
were BCC'd on the message. There is now a hotfix for this (and
other issues) available from Microsoft. For more information
see:

Service Pack 3 for Office 2003 was released earlier this

released in updates or hotfixes. New features are all
security-related and most can be disabled by editing a
registry key, if necessary for your business.
