Thanks
The OWA option sounds better than opening outlook in classic to set it.
I hope IT gives us access soon!!
I didn't think there would be an easy solution to the calendar issue
other than having the common sense not use thing like "Job Interview"
as the subject!
As for the progress window until that can be made to go away we'll just
have to stick with dragging it off the screen. The problem is every
time you re-launch you have to do it again. Non of these are real
killers, but added together they are extremely annoying.
