Microsoft confuses me

January 3, 2008 by paul


So I’m using Outlook, yeah?

And in Outlook I had two mailboxes open, my own and another that we were using to track bouncing emails on the server. I wanted to close the second mailbox, so I right-click on it and there’s an option that says ‘Close mailbox’.

I click the option, and Outlook tells me, ‘This mailbox is linked to an email account. To close it, select Tools->Email Accounts, etc etc etc’.

Here’s an idea, Microsoft: If you KNOW what I’m trying to do, instead of telling me how to do it manually, WHY NOT DO IT AUTOMATICALLY? IS THAT NOT THE POINT OF A COMPUTER???

Or alternatively, if I can’t close a linked mailbox by right-clicking on it, WHY is there an option to close it when I do so?

Why can’t Microsoft design software?
