Outlook 2007 Distributions List deletion
 

I am posting to notify everyone that it is terribly easy to mistakenly delete
a distribution list. Hopefully someone from the Microsoft development team
will read this. When you click delete on the Toolbar, thinking it is
deleting a single contact from the list, it "instantly" (without any
verification) deletes the ENTIRE distribution list. This is a very bad way
to set this up, as there should be some dialogue box that asks for
verification that you want to delete the distribution list permanently.
Hopefully all of you working closely with end users will see this and telll
your users before they come mad as hell telling you this new version of
Outlook sucks.

Thanks for fixing this in advance,
-Scott

Outlook 2007 Distributions List deletion
 

Not to dispute the basic premise of the deletion process pointed out in your
message, but in case you aren't aware, the deleted DL can be recovered from
the Deleted Items folder as long as it hasn't been emptied.
