- It would be great if the TFS tools sorted together and we got the “TFS” brand a little extra juice.

Outlook ‘Compact Now’ UI
I know I can run ‘Compact Now’ manually. I just did some archiving and ran it now and it took about 12 hours (overnight)… however I should know that I don’t have to.
- The UI should explain that this compacting happens in the background. (in the PST’s background idle task).
- The UI should so that it is currently running.
That way you know if the performance problems that you are experiencing are related to compaction.
Gee Whizzzz?I should not have to ask to show what is going on with my PC?.
I am just asking for a ‘Polite UI’ - The UI should show that this is primarily about space savings, not improving performance.
After I delete a lot of emails, I should see something different that indicates space can be saved.And if the UI is good, after I install Outlook 2007 SP2, and since things changed, (where you allowed the internal free space to grow – for a trade-off to allow for better locality of writes), I would see this in the UI.
Figure: This UI needs 3 features added
Show attached emails as normal attachments
An email with an attachments (of an .msg) doesn’t show as attachments.
Grrrrr.
iPads/iPhones actually embed the text at the bottom of the email – but I can’t imagine anyone expecting that behavior.
Figure: This attachment does not show on an iPhone or iPad
Make extra views discoverable
For example the iPhone shows album covers and the actual list of songs that you can flip through? but you would be lucky to find this.
I found this hard to find… I never knew there was a cool new view when you turn the iPhone on the side (This is not a very discoverable feature from Mr Jobs).
Figure: The normal view – give me some indication that there is a new view on the side
Figure: Turn it on the side an you have an interactive 3D flip view
Make it easy to add a screen shot into an email
The experience should be:
- Take a screen shot (currently works – using the 2 button approach)
- Pop a screen and ask if you want that on the clipboard
- Open an email and Paste (currently works)
- Convert the email to HTML (currently it shows beautifully inline when you view on an iPhone, but someone in OWA only sees a ‘Plain Text’ email with 2 attachments
IE – Help me know the slow or noisy tab
I hate not knowing which tab is playing sound and which one is making my PC slow
Add 2 more columns:
- Sound playing now
- Processor %
Figure: Add 2 more columns
Help me update quickly
#suggestion for #apple – just updated 2 #ipads and an #iphone. This is an unnecessary 593MB http://yfrog.com/kiw8bjp

If you agree, retweet.
Figure: Very surprised Apple does not cache the download, in case you connect a 2nd device
I would like to see a contact count in the “contact groups” screen
Figure: Bad example – I can’t see how many contacts I have on “contact groups” screen :(
Figure: I know if I scroll all the way down on my contacts screen I will find this info
Email – Give an option to keep images inline in the email history
Figure: Bad example – currently images are replaced in your email history
Suggestion for Access 2010 – Macro’s should have XML view
Figure: Wish I could copy this as text via a button ‘Edit Macro XML’ (like a SQL view in a query)
