I used to beat my wife.
But then she took tennis lessons.

I don't think you really know until you are in that situation.
I have in the past been the one person amongst many to stop and help someone in distress (amazing how as soon as I stopped, others were brave enough to stop too, where they had been just walking past before) but walking up to my neighbour's house and bashing the door down? Probably -

Exactly. Which is how I know I would take action. 'nuff said.

The video never seems to end, it just keeps looping around and around and around ...
Software Engineering is different from the traditional forms of engineering that are bound by the laws of physics. Software Engineering is only bound by the laws of stupidity.

I decided today that keeping 20,000 (or was it 200,000? or maybe 2,000,000?) emails in a single folder wasn't very sustainable, so from now on I am keeping them in a series of archive folders. However, Outlook is retarded and if you try to move a bunch of emails at once that contain some meeting invitations, it tries to create a new message containing all those invitations.
A few minutes in, I got an error saying my system didn't have enough resources to complete the operation. Rather than manually pick which emails to move (avoiding the appointments), I decided to automate it with a workaround I came up with (mark all messages with a custom category, then run a rule that moves messages with that category to a specified folder... I figure a message moved by a rule won't prompt me). I decided to test it by marking only a few messages and running it on the folder in question. Looks like my test run will take:
37 minutes. 
Sometimes, I hate Outlook.

Sql Server (Express) is a miracle at times.

What does SQL Server have to do with Outlook?

Outlook is a nice UI. Downloading your mail would be done in an evening of coding.
Woes.

I think I'd rather spend a couple hours using Outlook as it should be used rather than (and this is what I think you are talking about) spending several more hours using an Outlook API to store my emails to a SQL Server database (which would then require that I rebuild a tool like Outlook to manage?).

I'm not sure what I'd be improving. It should be noted that this is email stored in an archive file. I happen to keep it on a network drive, as it is company policy (they backup the network drives, so they can restore it if something goes wrong). It is really the volume of email (and Outlook's strange features) that are causing issues.

You should make friends with the delete key.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That was exactly my problem (I am moving items out of the deleted items folder)!
|
|
|
|
|
The deleted folder is not indexed by default.
On the Tools menu, point to Instant Search, and then click Search Settings. Then check the box for indexing the Deleted Items
I'm having a non English version of outlook, so names of menu items may vary.
Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!

I just got a few meeting reminders for really old meetings. One was 44 weeks old. I wonder if anybody else got reinvited. 
Sometimes, I hate Outlook. Other times, I despise it.

Outlook can be helpful, IF you know how to operate it effectively. I sure don't!
This book[^] might help.
That site was linked here in the Lounge earlier.
