Obligitory “I have to use it for my job,” so let’s commiserate.

It’s the worst program in all of the Office Suite. MS wrote the goddamn OS and email client, but for some reason if I have two instances open for two different inboxes and try to pull one up on the taskbar, the wrong instance will pull up every single time without fail.

My runner-up complaint is how when I use the search bar, sometimes it’ll forget what I’m doing and when I hit enter it’ll open some email instead of executing the search.

Every update makes it worse, so what drives you crazy?

    I have two instances open for two different inboxes and try to pull one up on the taskbar, the wrong instance will pull up every single time without fail.

    That sounds like how everyone always guesses wrong which way to plug in USB, not a specific problem with outlook.

    Labels should be the default but UI designers on all platforms only care about appearance. Googling says you can change the taskbar to not combine instances and show labels. That way you always know what you are clicking.

      I can see the windows with the inbox labeled in the taskbar preview, it just consistently brings up the wrong one when I click it.

      Believe me, I’ve tried for years to fix this.
