It's time to get your day started. You open up your trusty Microsoft Outlook and pop into the calendar to see what appointments you have today. You see there is an appointment set up for 1:00pm, although the entry information gives you a feeling of deja vu. You wait for the client to show up as the minutes and then hours pass by. Finally, you decide to give your client a call as the client says that they already had the meeting last month.

Hanging up the phone, you want to pound your fists into the computer screen in frustration as you call online computer support.

Wacky Microsoft Outlook Problems

Ah, another victim claimed by the wacky world of Microsoft Outlook. Before you put on the soundtrack for the Twilight Zone, know that you are not alone in experiencing these problems. Outlook has sucked other unsuspecting victims into its clutches and into some very strange situations. Let's take a look at some of the weird problems you may experience when using Microsoft Outlook.

Recurring Calendar Appointments

You set up an appointment reminder. Outlook reminds you about the appointment again and again and again no matter how many times you delete the entry. This Outlook problem makes you feel as if you ate a bad three-day-old burrito. Even when you think it's gone, it comes back to haunt you again in a very bad way.

Disappearing Calendar Entries (among other things)

Placing in entries shouldn't be this frustrating. You make a note in the calendar and you do everything to save it there. The next minute you log into Outlook, the entry is gone, along with all your other entries, some of your contacts and all the tasks you had set up to do this weekend. While you may be secretly happy the chore list is gone, having all the kid's special activities vanish is not a good thing.

Upgrading Outlook Erases All Exchange Mailbox Data from Mobile Devices

Many people will upgrade their 2010 Outlook to a 64-bit version. While upgrading your software is a good idea, you will soon find that you won't be able to access the Exchange mailbox from your Windows mobile devices. In fact, all your contact information, calendar entries and mail is completely gone.

Receiving Mail from Only Microsoft Exchange Server

You enter your incoming mail and see 20 messages waiting for you yet you don't know who they are from because all the sender information says it is from the Microsoft Exchange Server. A weird and frustrating problem to deal with, as there may be mail you don't want to open but you have to read through the entire message just to find out who sent it.

The above list names just some of the wacky things you may have to deal with when using Outlook.
