I can’t even begin to unravel what the product manager was thinking, but this has resulted in significant confusion and angst among Outlook Mac users, like in this thread at Macrumors which has 25 posts over 10 months on an issue that has not been resolved even though the software has been updated regularly during that time. So any appointment in my calendar that is later than 4pm actually shows up in my calendar a day later in a different time zone. From where I live in the Pacific time zone (PST/PDT depending on the time of year), that is 8 hours later. For some reason, Microsoft decided to make UTC/GMT the “default” time zone and now forces appointments to appear in that time zone, but only sometimes.

Another is the “feature” that Outlook Mac “automatically” makes some of my calendar appointments use what is called UTC (short for Universal Time Coordinated) this used to be known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), aka the time zone for London, where time zones were apparent invented.

This is just one problem that I have that has not been repaired in multiple updates to Outlook Mac. (Can you see that I unchecked the option to restart Microsoft Outlook? I did that so it wouldn’t restart and present the same problem and crash again.) Is Microsoft not paying attention to the crash reports it asks to submit every time it crashes? I have submitted this crash report so many times, I feel like I must have affected the statistics enough to make someone at Microsoft notice. But at least you can pretend that that client is a better way to read email on a Macintosh than Outlook Mac, since Apple Mail is made by Apple for their native platform!) (It’s another blog post, but Tim Cook should probably be even more embarrassed by Apple Mail. If you really don’t care about the product, you should admit it (publicly, please), schedule the end of its life, and give your Macintosh users a feasible path forward to read email processed by the Exchange server, something that is now much easier to do since you redeveloped Exchange to be a cloud service provided as part of Office 365 - on the internet! It’s embarrassing for a major, iconic software company to put such a piece of crap into the market. Last major update? “Find and fix accessibility issues while composing messages or invitations by using the Accessibility Checker”! Meanwhile, Outlook Mac crashes or becomes unusable, can’t format phone numbers or look up addresses online, can’t manage time zones, doesn’t integrate well with Apple or Gmail calendars or even allow you to add photos to an email. I’ve been getting those updates for at least three years, a reasonable timeframe in which to expect a company to realize that it has a problem product and fix it.

Every two weeks, I get an update to my Microsoft Office Suite for Macintosh and every week, nothing really changes about Outlook Mac. I hope you have a secret project to replace your standard email client for the Macintosh. I imagine that it’s severely career-limiting to be the putz who works on Macintosh stuff in The Windows Company, particularly since Apple exceeded expectations and is now worth 50% more than Microsoft, rather than 80% less, and no longer needs big brother to help validate it. You should be, but I doubt you even know how bad it is.
