Default Everything creates a task


I've just started using Outlook instead of Groupwise, and everything imported fine, however I've noticed that whenever anything happens (new emails, moving emails from the inbox to a folder, deleting an email, etc) it creates a "no-date" task in the task list, which I can't delete without deleting the email. Even after I do that the email just goes into the "deleted items" folder and then it creates another task for it. Is this because it's pulling the info from Groupwise or is there a setting I'm not seeing?

Default Many tasks being generated which I never asked for

I have had the same problem ever since installing Outlook as well. I've got three Google IMAP accounts hooked up, and that's about it. I cannot think of WHAT might have kicked off this weird behaviour.

Groupwise? Hmmm... I've never heard of that before. I'm a power user of the MS-Office suite here - but that's more of a "I can make Word and Excel sing and dance". I'm guessing Groupwise is a multiple-users related thing?

No, it's an email program put out by Novell. For whatever reason my company can't switch to an Exchange server so we can fully use Outlook, but Outlook is smart enough to import everything from Groupwise so I can use it instead. Somehow it communicates with the Novell server and seems to work fine except for that one issue.

I've also noticed that it's only on the To-Do list, and all the tasks it creates are wiped out after you close Outlook. I guess it's not that big of an issue. I just won't use the To-Do list.
