if you use it with an exchange server its even more amazing...with the combination of calendars and tasks and all that in a real business setting its amazing what all microsoft has thrown in...

does it have the ability to tell you what a hyperlink in an email actually points to (when you mouseover) like the status bar on the bottom of IE / FF ? I'm asking because of phishing efforts.

the inclusion of hte calendar is amazing!! plus it syncs to my blackberry...so at 8.45AM (when I'm at home) it reminds me i have a meeting at 9!!

i love technology.

before i never really cared much for PDAs or all the fancy features of Outlook, but now I really appreciate them.

yuck.

why do you use such a bloated interface for grabbing email?

I say this since you had thunderbird earlier, I doubt you use their (ms) calendar or anything like that.

I don't think so -- I just tried with a link here at work (we use Outlook 2003) and I didn't see anything like that.

if you have office pro or smb, download the new updated business contact manager

I use it with the new Small Business Accounting 2006. Very nice product all tied together.

Outlook is probably the best one yet. Very robust and customizable. I wish the rule limit was not set at 20.

Actually, it does (at least with HTML mail).

I chose a classic phishing mail item that was caught in one of my spam filters as an example.
