WTF Microsoft? Who would ever do that?
I suppose someone might have turned it on for the wrong dates, but 99.99% of the time this is just annoying.
You're supposed to be out of office, get off of Outlook.
i have to agree to disagree here. in my career i have seen far, far too many people with their out of office message long out of date, and still running after they are back. this is a very useful feature that has cut back on those experiences significantly.
... you haven't met people... have you?
do I agree that MS is infuriating because it knows that stupid people exist and they just assume you're one of them? absolutely. but there are people that do that.
There's probably a better way to present the popup/query, mind, more like confirming things are accurate than "ARE YOU SURE?!"
I agree with you but I would say it should not be a pop up at all. It should be a status message in the toolbar.
Is that not what this is…?
I think your right. I think it was the screenshot highlighting which made it look like a popup to me.
Ideally, you would set this up ahead of time and won't need to see it. But the thing that annoys me about outlook's out-of-office thing is that by default, it just turns on for people in your organization. So if you forget to turn it on for everyone you can have an annoyed client wondering why you haven't responded all week.
This is a clear case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't." Some people will complain, either way. Personally, I prefer the current implementation.
Thanks. It seems I'm in the minority on this one. All good.
What an itty bitty tiny potatoe to get upset about, I’d hate to forget that shit is on
I'll just leave this here
