Hi all,

I have been working with Outlook recently and have come across three issues:
1) Contacts are stored in the Contacts list (sync'd with my AB) but I can't perform a search on anything. Always null. Useless.
2) I can create new groups but don't see a group list - not sure if this existed anyway.
3) Tasks - I can save them, but they don't appear in the Tasks section.

I have verified that these docs exist because I can see them in:
Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Main Identity/Data Records/Tasks/OT/OB/OM/20K/

Even when I click on these individual files they open, but when I close them I have no idea to where they disappear.

I'm in an environment which relies heavily on Word and Excel and that's OK - I can deal with that. But I thought I'd give the Office Suite a shot with Outlook, having persisted with Entourage for a while there, but I think Outlook still suffers from some database issues.

Really frustrating - MS have done a pretty good job of realigning with OS X style and making use of cocoa frameworks (I believe) but this is less than ideal.

All I want is a simple life
