For example, I open an appointment and reply all to it, then close the appointment.
It has been updated, so it moves to the top, but I have already pressed Dismiss and so the wrong message was dismissed!

Appointments should be able to store images
Well actually they can add images as same as emails. but because they are stored as RTF (instead of HTML like normal email messages) so they convert to 4-5MB attachments.
The worst thing is the syncing problems with Windows Mobile devices.
PS: I think it should be easier to insert Live maps (or google maps) for directions.
Outlook should add ‘Configure’ button to ‘Indexing Status…’ form
Add a ‘Configure’ button to ‘Indexing Status…’ form:

Make the closing down of Outlook more reliable
The problem I find with Outlook 2007 (also occurs in Outlook 2003) is that I often close down Outlook, wait a short while then shut down Vista… yet invariably when I start up again, it says the data files weren’t closed properly. I can only presume this has something to do with the fact that it seems to keep receiving mail even when it’s shut down. I have had the Outlook OST file so corrupted it was impossible to recover it, so I had to re-synchronize > 10+ GB of mails.
I use two laptops (both Vista) and I would say that at least 60% of the time I start up Outlook 2007 on one, it says the file was not closed properly. I don’t know what is causing it, but it just adds to the many pain points of Outlook 2007.
The likely cause of this is that some “3rd party” application is keeping Outlook running.
Show number of related messages left in your inbox and their subfolders
When I am processing an email in my inbox, I want to complete it and its related messages. Currently, Outlook 2007 only gives you the “Related” button and it works very slowly and poorly because Outlook needs to search the related emails in all folders.
- Add a checkbox in Tools | Options “Show number of related messages left and their subfolders”
- Add a red bar to alert “There are N related messages left and their subfolders”
OWA should support pasting images into the email content
It will be great to support pasting image in OWA. Now the OWA only allow us to add the images to attachments. This will affect reading and the attachments are easily lost while responding.
Improve SSW Europe Google Juice
In Outlook, the size of an email in RTF format is much larger than that in HTML format.
So we suggest: remove the RTF option in the message format to save space and make emails faster.
Search results could benefit from 3 improvements
Use strikethrough for the deleted items.
Use blue with italics for the outbox.
When you select an Outbox item – do not change it back to normal from italics.
Open a reminder on a seperate thread
Please make a reminder open on a separate thread. When you have a lot the Inbox UI does not respond.
