Too many dialog / option levels?

Posted on May 23, 2007 by Cory Foy

I think I found something not intended for the public to see in Outlook today. We’ve been having some issues getting prompted for passwords from Outlook, and one of my colleagues pointed out that one fix was to disable the dowloading shared folders. To get to that option you have to go to Outlook 2007 -> Tools -> Options -> Mail Setup -> E-Mail Accounts -> Change -> More Settings.

However, going there revealed an additional two layers that no one else is seeing. First was an option entitled, no joke, “Even More Options…”

Clicking on that revealed another dialog box with some interesting tabs:

Ok, so some debugging stuff. But Malebolge? What the heck is that? Even worse, clicking on it doesn’t help explain anything:

What the heck does that mean? Oh well, I’ll just assume I got some sort of internal build and see if I can reinstall. But seriously, what are we, like 8 levels in? Who needs that many options anyway?

    Yes, actually, it would seem that you are exactly 8 levels in. According to the Wikipedia entry on Malebolge, that is the 8th circle of Hell. Someone has a sense of humor!

    Nevertheless, the 440C option still eludes explanation… I wonder what happens when you change it.

    It might be that 444.6C is the temperature at which brimstone and sulfur turn from a vapor to a gas.

    (And yes, the entire thing above is a joke because I really did feel trapped in Dante’s Inferno going through the dialog boxes. But the “Even More Options…” is merely a button added to the screen shot)
