Outlook Web Access has been built by monkeys

The guys who make outlook have no clue on how to make a web interface. A pack of wild spider monkeys would probably do a better job.
For instance the paging looks like this:

1 2 3 4 5 ... |< < > >|

There are a number of problems with that:

1. It doesn’t tell you how many total pages you have (in my case it was upwards of 30)
2. When I click on the fifth page, it ends up looking something like this:

1 2 3 4 [5] … |< < > >|

where [5] denotes that 5 has been selected

So, what if I want to go to page 6?? I have to click on that dumbass arrow

Why even bother showing the page numbers, and not just show the current page, if they’re going to be lazy about it?

Not to mention that to send the message it’s in the upper left corner - which isn’t familiar to about 90% of the population

Plus the text box to edit your email has a font that is approximately 100% smaller than I can reasonably read.

Please note that I’m using Firefox - I guess microsoft just doesn’t want to support a good browser.

From hell’s heart, I stab at thee!

I have no deeper hatred than the loathing I feel having to even interact with Microsoft products.  Windows is a product not worthy of the cling ons sticking to a pig’s rectum.  Internet Explorer deserves a fate worse than death, worse than an eternity of torture and humiliation.  Microsoft’s only redeeming product, the Xbox 360, has a failure rate of about 1 in 3.  Their innovation is built upon the backs of giants, much like an annoying tick sucking the blood of a hard working oxen.
