It depends. Old Outlook keeps failing me, in ways the new, dumb web app has not (yet):

- Not sending e-mail unless I am restarting it (I added Outbox to Favorites to catch this before hours have gone by)

- Crashing when I try to add an attachment, and loosing my drafted email

- Claiming it's out of memory and hence can't add my signature.

Now, granted, all this maybe due to incompentence at my workplace, or me having "too much email or calendars", but boy does Outlook get in the way of me getting work done. I've run into all of this over the last week, BTW.

I'm not saying you aren't experiencing that, but I've never heard of those complaints before and if they were remotely common there is no way Outlook would be used so much that we are at a point of people complaining it will go away.

Maybe a fresh reinstall or something?

Office applications can do all weird kind of things. Often it is caused by 3rd party COM add-ons.
