| 1163372 | 2010-12-19 20:04:00 | Got an email this morning that was an IRD scam - blantantly a scam because (aside from the fact that the IRD would never want to inform you that they owe you money) the link at the bottom was a bit.ly one that lead to some random bellsouth page! I'm sure they could try harder than that. I've gotten this one before but this time the email address said noreply@ird.govt.nz. So the email says it's from the IRD's real website, how'd they manage to swing that one? I forwarded it on to their phishing department. Not sure what exactly they can do about it though. |

| 1163374 | 2010-12-19 21:44:00 | I'm using Outlook, I had a look but don't think it does. Then again I find Outlook stupidly difficult to use, especially since before I started this job I hadn't used it since for a number of years! | Siobhan Keogh (16063) | ||
| 1163375 | 2010-12-19 22:01:00 | Then again I find Outlook stupidly difficult to use, especially since before I started this job I hadn't used it since for a number of years! Stupidly difficult. That's a subjective comment that has no place in a forum that prizes objectivity. :annoyed: |

| 1163376 | 2010-12-19 22:19:00 | Well I find Outlook stupidly annoying. Outlook Express on the other hand is awesome. |

| 1163378 | 2010-12-19 22:33:00 | If I had to review it I would give it 2 stars and recommend GMail! | Siobhan Keogh (16063) | ||

| 1163380 | 2010-12-19 23:03:00 | If I had to review it I would give it 2 stars and recommend GMail! Guess the reviews are going to be very Bias then . Gmail is OK for a basic, free no frills web based email, where as Outlook has a lot more functions and integration with other Office applications . I suspect the reviews will be like the Norton Antivirus reviews -- ;) and we all know how one sided they are . I started this job I hadn't used it since for a number of years! So a person doesn't know the program and most of its features, and its automatically condemned to the useless pile ------ Please refer to opening comment . Edited: What version of outlook are you referring to . Lesson on how to view its source: If you are using Outlook 2010 - simply double Click the message to open - Actions/Other Actions/ View Source -- Wasn't that hard ;) Graphical View ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/Mail . jpg" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz) |
